Jonathan Shapiro - My Dawgs
My Dawgs - Jonathan Shapiro (Rap) Looking at Jonathan’s picture, we’re afraid he may be too young to know the reference we’re about to make, but in his chill midtempo flow My Dawgs, he’s bringing us back to the days of Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony. His rhymes flow easily, riding the crisp production almost melodically, giving the track a very “sing-along-able” quality. The lofi percussion with swirling rhodes are punctuated nicely by the occasional audio effect and background chant, and marries nicely with his lead vocal production. His lyrics are quite clever, which made choosing our best one difficult, and while the song feels like an introduction to who Jonathan is, his playful wittiness in his word choice and phrasing tell us even more about him than the lines themselves. But at the end of the day, My Dawgs is a drink and a two step kinda jam, and we’re here for it.
Best Lyric: “Can’t keep me in a box, too fidgety. Can’t keep me in a roof, too chim-i-ny”
