With each single Jonny Dee has been paving the way to mainstream consciousness. His brand of cosmic rap has garnered attention from the likes of BBC Radio 1xtra and sent his Soundcloud plays skyward. Continuing to stake his claim as a rap prodigy, the San Diego hustler has just dropped new single ‘Feedback‘, lifted from his forthcoming EP ‘The Human Experience’.
While his typical quick-witted, tongue-twisting rhymes still run rings around the listener on ‘Feedback’, the chorus offers the kind of lazy, hypnotic drawl that’s usually associated with Kid Cudi. Cudi references aside though, Dee seems to surpass the tropes of rap by injecting a fusion of genres into his music. Elements of funk, jazz, psychedelia, soul, video game music are woven throughout ‘The Human Experience’
When we spoke to Dee about the forthcoming release he said:
“The whole idea of ‘The Human Experience’ is essentially understanding and loving yourself more and more, to the point that when you look back out at the rest of the world, a lot of the struggles that people have just don’t make sense.
“It’s all about a person getting more in touch with themselves, finding happiness that way, and wanting to help others to do the same. The music is a guideline I guess to find some freedom and peace from the “everyday struggles”. ‘The Human Experience’ is the act of going out and trying to understand humans, why they do the things they do, treat each other the way they do, and trying to help them.”
‘The Human Experience’ is available from May 12.
