Music
The best kept secret in music
Press
With a sound that mixes live acoustic musicians with hip-hop/rap elements, Brictop is the latest in a revolution of integrating musical styles. Vocalist FD's quick and aggressive rhymes determine the mood of The World Is My Stage, one that lashes out against injustice and inequality with such lyrics as "No disrespect/but I changed my name just to throw back/ in the faces of masters who owned slaves," found on track four, "Man 2 Man."
The entire album is a melodic mixture of acoustic guitars, programmed drums, tenacious raps and rock vocals comparable to Everlast. Singer Spud Taihoa holds back a bit on most of the songs, allowing F.D. to work the mic with force. With sixteen songs, the disc easily passes an hour in length, though the songs go quickly so you have to keep up. Two standout tracks are "Feel My Soul 2 Nite" and "Boomerang." Overall, The World Is My Stage is a solid performance.
