Da Foundation proves two crowns are better than one on “Lurkin”
Heavy is the head that wears the crown. In this case, make it plural. The Greensboro bred rap duo “Da Foundation” recently released their full-length album project “Live…Suffer…Celebrate.” The project’s versatility is one of its strongest attributes, with the duo effortlessly flowing across different production styles with relative ease. Da Foundation’s sonic mastery is most notable on track eight, a pulsating anthem to ambition entitled “Lurkin.”
The duo asserts their omnipotency over a slinky hip-hop composition that they masterfully manage to integrate with dancehall via the track’s chorus. “Rebellious, overzealous America tryna kill me,” the lyrics fearlessly take on the state of black positioning in a country that has seemed to never shy away from its racist lineage.
The duo, however, doesn’t harp on racial challenges here but observes them while speaking on their ability to navigate and dictate their existence. “Tell the preacher man he can not tell me [expletive] and that you are never truly baptized until you die.” Casso insists before the record’s end, showcasing the duo’s reliance on their spiritual intuition and intellectual guidance. In an era where most of hip hop’s discography is blatantly attempting to replicate current trend lines, Da Foundation seems to be earnestly committed to standing out from the crowd. “Lurkin” puts the duo’s ability to be sonically interesting on full display, echoing most of the entire album’s concepts of fearlessness, spiritual assertion, and self-navigation.
