Swinging with a dose of boom-bap Hip-Hop is the new EP Based Off Black by UK rapper ThisisDA. The recording is the follow-up to his previous 2014 album Super Arkane, which sparked a wave of attention for the 20-year old emcee, capturing the ears of various magazines. Preserving the aesthetics of classic Hip-Hop with sharp lyrical content and head-nodding, ear-grabbing production, the new EP is available as a free download.

Describing Based Off Black, ThisisDA wrote:

“You could say this record is about my darkest days and the term ‘black’ is an umbrella one really, concerning depression, my visual aesthetic, race, even the book of Genesis – everything comes from the black. My whole life is based off black”
