On the Rowdy City Twitter account there are a lot of
references to "Dope Lyrics Matter", which is a track from one of
their members, Ready Rock Dee. His solo work at this time is overwhelming the
Soundcloud and Youtube pages.
That is interesting to me, because based on their
description the larger group has been very successful, with a lot of touring.
However, one member had died, and it seems like that might have thrown off the
balance.
That has made it harder to get a sense of Rowdy City, but also their music
itself isn't doing it for me. The lyrics are not that dope, and songs are
remarkably free of hooks. Nothing has stuck in my head the way some of
Litefoot's songs - including ones I did not like - did. Even the music videos are
dull.
So I can't really recommend Rowdy City as they are, but
maybe what they really need is to regroup; who are they now, without HD? Is
that something they want to preserve?
If they decide then to change to support for Ready
Rock Dee, that can be okay, but it should be a choice and not a default.
