JC & DLake

The Hip duo that does non Hop Shit...

About Me


Press...
I’ve been a fan of these guys for quite a while, and the forthcoming cd from JC & DLake is one of the events I am highly anticipating.
Three of their tracks are available on their MySpace page; Diffibulator, Have it Your Way and Beer Pong. Diffibulator is probably my favourite of the three. The creative production coming from DLake combined with JC’s playful and literate lyrics provide a refreshing, hip, un-hop escape from the crap-hop so prevalent today.
The first time I listen to a song, I normally don’t pay much attention to lyrics. I feel the flow of a track to see if I want to listen more; and these songs flow. The beats are creative and the composition is out of the ordinary. You can tell that JC & DLake are having fun. Once you get more in depth, the lyrics are fantastic. Every song tells a story. JC’s lyrical prowess continues to impress. One of my favourite lines comes out of Beer Pong, where JC drops
" Besides, that Nintendo gun’s got a beam that will give your iris cancer / might be an urban legend but I ain’t gon’ try to find an answer"
The combination of these two minds results in a 1-2 punch of creativity and playfulness that I have to suggest checking them out. They play regularily in the Baltimore/DC area.
JC & DLake will be playing at the Laundry Bar in Miami on March 22nd, with the Rough House Tactics Crew, as a part of the World Music Conference.
