The cliché conversation about bringing New York back is often discussed but never is its integral components mentioned; the man behind the boards and the dynamics that the producer offers in setting the sonic landscape for the emcee to exist. In the 80s we had Marley, 90’s the Premiers and Pete Rocks, and 2000s… well that’s right around the time Hov started phoning down south to Virginia for club bangers, and Lil Jon took over radio. New York won’t be prominent again until we venerate the producer and that’s exactly where we would like to interject Buffalo NY native Daringer into the conversation. Daringer started off as a DJ it wasn’t until around 04-05 when he got interested and tried his hand at making beats. When his production graces the ear no matter your location, mentally you’re on the east coast trapped between headphones blaring sonic infusions steeped in samples, that dictate head nodding. The incredible loops make it apparent that this guy is definitely a crate digger but make no mistake in assuming his work is only worth nostalgia. Daringer’s refreshing take on traditional East Coast production sounds sinister especially when coupled with vocals from rising lyricist Westside Gun, who’s newly released Flygod album has garnered critical acclaim and is almost entirely produced Daringer.
