The Devil’s Calling - Dax (Rap) Dax is back, following our review for “The Devil’s Calling,” this time bringing us “God’s Eyes”—a melodic rap social justice record that is as catchy as it is intelligent. A mid tempo groove led by a brooding guitar and crispy trap percussion, the standout element of the track is surely the lyrics, as fed to us by a passionate and impressive delivery we have already come to know with his prior release. Towards the end of the second verse specifically, Dax GOES IN with a rapid fire flow that will certainly get you hype. But as impressive as the spit is, it’s the lyrical content that blows us away. Using an admittedly well worn framework of seeing the Devil at work here on Earth, Dax uses the trope to preach nuanced and insightful thoughts on the state of the world, capitalism and humanity’s present day value system. Religious or not, this one will strike a chord.
Best Lyric: “We know the price of everything, but we don’t know the worth.”
