Bring Out The Rage: A Review Of Two Singles By Rum Brucctree

His music does not make for easy listening, but maybe that's the uneasy point.

Rum Brucctree is a difficult artist to listen to. Take ‘Hail The Drivestill’, a single he released on July 7, featuring Million Dragons.

The beat overshadows the lyrics, in fact you can't hear the lyrics most of the time.

‘Fuck the fame', he raps on the track, and he says ‘fuck’ more than twice.

Brucc is known for his music and work in the movies, a relative of mine, who's a musician, tells me. 

‘That feels like a trance beat,’ my relative tells me when we listen to ‘Hail the Drivestill'. ‘But it feels like Brucc is singing via a Dubstep style,’ he adds.

‘So that's more like Trance Dubstep?’ I say.

As we continue talking about Brucc's music, my relative tells me: ‘This is an electronic beat, and this is the music that brings out the rage in you. It's the kinda music bikers like. It feels like Brucc is beefing.’

Having first labelled the song trance, my relative settles on rap. 

‘But I cannot hear what the guy’s rapping about,’ I say.

My relative agrees with me.

‘Yeah. What's the point of riding on a beat when nobody's gonna hear you?’ he says.

My answer, as I write this: it's all about the rage. Maybe.

Better is ‘Ankhs and Spades’, a song by The Clantes in which Rum Brucctree makes a feature.

The song has some singing and soul in it. It's more friendly and even if you can't hear the words, the way the singer plays with his voice or words is creative.
