“Damn!” is the new DAMN. Maybe that’s blasphemy, or maybe that’s us declaring that if you’re not on the Van Buren Records bandwagon, you had better hop on now. The Brockton hip-hop collective delivered another fireball last week (July 3) called “Damn!”, which arrived on the heels of their June single “Doin Too Much”.
The track and accompanying video present a circular collaboration, melding distinct flows from FELIX!, Luke Bar$, and Jiles into a seamless stream of verses. But perhaps what’s most notable here is an offhand remark in the background around the song’s halfway point.
“Ah, that’s a Van Buren right there,” coos a feminine voice, as if identifying a painting in an art gallery. We’re getting deep enough into the group’s catalog that their style is erring on instantly-recognizable. If that doesn’t make you mutter “damn,” then damn it, what will?
Tune in below.
