DAVE ZUP - Oh, It’s Going
Drawing from Hip-Hop’s first golden age and 70’s Funk, Oh, It’s Going by Dave Zup serves as a bright and bouncy introduction to the emerging emcee. The 10-track, self-produced LP spans just under 25 minutes and is the result Zup’s 3 month recovery period following reconstructive leg surgery.
Though Dave’s lyricism and in-the-pocket flow often take the spotlight, his craftsmanship of the instrumentals is the real focus. Channeling ingenuity from the Funk and Hip-Hop music that he was raised on (A Tribe Called Quest, Commodores, De La Soul), the 25-year-old manages to pay homage to his influences while staying original and without sounding dated.
The dichotomy between artist and fan is ever-present on Oh, It’s Going. This is a record that is rooted in appreciation for music as a whole.
