Brokeblack Mountain (2025)
“Brokeblack Mountain” is the expressive equivalent of bending a toothpick. Each song displays a man nearly cracked in two, hoping for a chance, that he ironically seems to have given up on.
Lyrically, the work shimmers with awareness and societal sensitivity. From the fear of technology, to the pangs of poverty, 10th Street Dre provides perspective worthy of consideration. On the track entitled American Fiction, the crooner opens both verses condescendingly as he sings “It pays to be a black man”, before the album reaches that point you’ll come to The Rolling Hills, where the writer shares his vision of an ideal world, this tune serves as the record’s optimistic North Star.
Musically this effort is blunt and simplistic, the fingers are only playing the notes necessary to carry their commanding vessel’s message and without question, he has one.
