N/A Hip Hop’s RNAtheMESSENGER (aka DNAtheG) originally hails from Dorchester, MA where he graduated from Boston College with a degree in English. He released his first project in 2013, The Code EP, under the moniker DNAtheG. However, this EP was only a small sample of what makes N/A Hip Hop special. His forthcoming LP, Here Cometh the Dreamer, demonstrates this emcee’s rise to another level of consciousness. RNAtheMessenger’s latest single release, now available on iTunes, which is also supported by an official video on YouTube, is “Mechanical Hounds”.
The music industry is one that is very difficult to be successful in. More often than not, artists strive to create music that appeals to all senses. Music that sends shivers down the listener’s spine should be the kind of music that people want to listen to. The sad truth is the artists who integrate superb lyrics with excellent beats to make a quality song hardly make it in the music industry today. In the rap industry, there are different types of artists: independent artists like RNAtheMessenger, and signed contract artists “you know who” that I won’t be naming here for obvious reasons.
RNAtheMessenger is one of the most talented independent rappers out there, but is not as popular as he should be because signed artists are the ones who dominate the business. The music industry is all about the money. To be honest though, everything that surrounds us is about the money. In fact “Mechanical Hounds” tackles this subject and many other of the world’s injustices controlled by the ‘powers-that-would-be’.
RNAtheMessenger kicks off the track by targeting bankers, and then he takes a heavy swipe at the mass media and how it controls information, not to mention the fact that our mobile phones are tracked and spied upon at will. RNAtheMessenger leaves no stone unturned as he raps against conformity and oppression in any form. “I can’t languish in changes in an age where there’s chains on our language / In pain I am screeching in anguish / Free speech and expressions in danger oppressions the norm…” clearly shows his distain with society and the way it operates.
“Mechanical Hounds” is awesome from beginning to end. Here RNAtheMessenger proves he is a lyrical mastermind with a conscious, and has his own unique style of rapping. The question is, why are you reading this page? If you’re browsing this page it simply means you haven’t purchased this track yet, in which case, you are missing a true musical masterpiece from your collection. The single pushes boundaries and raises serious questions about modern society.
In the past few years every single rap release you picked up has been the same, unless you strayed far away from the mainstream – whose rims are the largest, who gets the most girls and who has the most money. If you’re ready to move away from that garbage now – get into RNAtheMessenger!
