Humble Arrogance
“it is no great thing when you are humble when you are brought low, but to be humble when you are praised is a great and rare attainment”
There are artists who push the envelope and create art that is not only timeless but something that audiences the world over can enjoy. This artist is no different. Already impressive with the title of the project being Humble Arrogance. This speaks to everything that we represent here at Arrogant Marketing. It is important for artists to be humble when it matters but Arrogant when it comes to their craft.
This project by Dougphresh Da Don has an incredible composition of production, lyrical content and is mixed and mastered well. These are all important aspects to create a standout project. The artist has bars, punchlines and the cadence to capture the audience. There are many artists who can rap but do not capture audiences due to overly complex rhyme schemes or highly poetic lyrics, this artist balances all of the above creating memorable bars that are quote worthy. The intro track I Do My Thang is heavy and is true to its name, “….facts over fiction, bars over names, true skills, talent over fame” Doughphresh Da Don is not one to be played with on the microphone. The memorable and quotable lyrics are peppered throughout the entire project. Some of the notable from this perspective is Neck of the Woods, I Do My Thang, Boss Lady with its variance from the expected gritty hip hop to a more R and B vibe that shows the artist’s range. This artist is not one to miss and being from Louisville, Kentucky we can hope to hear more of his music reaching out this way.
