The art of storytelling is extremely close to being a lost art in the Hip Hop realm. You probably can count on one hand how many rappers past and present that mastered that part of the craft. (Slick Rick, Eminem, Black Rob, Kendrick Lamar, Andre 3000). It’s a part of the craft that if you can either become good at it, or master it, you will gain the respect of your peers and fans. It’s also another weapon in your arsenal. It’s a win/win situation no matter how you look at it. TyShawn Dion shows that he is pretty damn good at it with his new release “Humble Pie”. It’s a story that is well woven over a xylophone and harp heavy produced track. The great part of this record is TyShawn’s attention to detail as he talks about his final fuck up in the relationship. “And if my Mama was to tell it, oh that ghost fine, but this gonna haunt you TyShawn. Why? Because can’t a damn thing change a battered woman scorn. She was good, but now she’s gone. Might fuck your friend to this song”, he rhymes on the last bars of the song. The former DI Football star may have found another world to be great it.
