Daddy Nino “WonderWall” x “Weak” x “Backseat Mentality”
When we think about the future of Hip-Hop, we must realize something : The Past is no indication of the future. Well , let me take that back. The Recent Past
is no indication of the future. Hip-Hop is rooting turn to its roots, with rappers/producers such as B [dot] Jay & Frankiee "Dee" Sinn sampling genres outside of hip-hop/rap in order to invade the mind, such as Run-DMC did with Aerosmith in the 80's.
Daddy Nino is no exception to this trend. The rapper/producer [who produced Lowkey Riez's "Limelight"] from Atlanta is saying "F-you" to his city, and being a one many army. From slow RnB tracks to songs where his flow has ADHD, Nino is doing whatever he wants. & you know what? It works.

"Backseat Mentality" still has me spinning in circles [in confusion that is haha]. It starts out as you would assume, as with ND singing about a girl [with a mellow beat that fits perfectly], but heads towards Nino basically singing about his life & showing off his vocal talents.
