DaVinci - "Blame Game" (Prod. Al Jieh)

DaVinci - Blame Game (Prod. Al Jieh)
DaVinci - Blame Game (Prod. Al Jieh)
"Lend me your ear for a minute – I got some shit on my chest." So begins "Blame Game," the latest video from DaVinci, who emerged in 2010 as one of hip-hop's most gifted young lyricists, matching street grit and tough talk with genuine hope and optimism – and doing so all while avoiding the soapbox. This latest song, while not planned for inclusion on DaVinci's upcoming EP, Feast Or Famine, or sophomore LP, The MOEna Lisa, feels more fitting as a lost track from The Day The Turf Stood Still. "It was like an overflow of lines that I didn't get to say on the last album," explains the Fillmore, San Francisco rapper. "It's something that's been especially on my mind because of Black History Month."

As DaVinci raps, "Hate is power, love is a weakness / You do wrong the right way, they call you a genius," the rising Bay Area emcee's powerful message resonates loud and clear – what's valued in the streets seems to be exactly what is valued in politics too. This is the trickle down effect that grips the government and the community.
