” Rising Delaware rapper BonesRiverside”
Delaware is considered a large contributor to the Underground Rap Music Scene. It is widely known that Delaware rappers have been putting it down hard. However, everyone thinks of tax-free shopping and trips to the beach when it comes to Delaware while being overshadowed by its larger rap scene counterparts in Philadelphia and New York, Delaware hasn’t really had the opportunity to show the country what it has — until now.
BonesRiverSide attempted to change that conception when he dropped ‘Word Around Town’
Track starts off with a sick beat that builds with a siren wailing in the background; that’s when he drops his first bars and it’s fire.
“Excuse my demeanor I’m a product of the set / float’n off my love boat / I’m the captain of my ship”
The way his lyrics ride the beat remind me of water flowing over smoothed rocks in this masterfully produced track.
Catchy hook like “Word around town is I’m in it knee deep” – I actually found myself singing this outloud, headphones bumping, while I was walking into my office this morning (Pre-coffee) Yes, yes, I’m I fan and you will be too once you check out this fire track from this unsigned sensation hailing from Wilmington, Delaware
