[Meet] DVS

alt=”DVS is a rapper from New York, he is coming out with a project called DVTV” width=”1024″ height=”707″ />

I was first introduced to DVS at Chaz Van Queen‘s apartment after we finished shooting the video for Do You Like It.” The dude is a straight ball of energy, usually communicating through stream of consciousness. If you follow his Twitter feed, which I highly recommend, you can tell his mind pretty much never stops.

Much like his demeanor in conversation and on Twitter, DVS’ tracks have a hyperactive feel to them. The first leak off of his upcoming DVTV project makes no exception to this rule. The track titled, “Good Morning America,” is a fast two and a half minutes with two verses of a speedy delivery with a message. His lyrics seem dark and a bit apocalyptic and during the hook he apologizes for the truths he tells as he says, “I’m sorry I’m scarin’ ya…” The beat he raps over complements the lyrics perfectly with it’s dark and brooding feel.

I have to say that I am surprised with the dark feeling of the overall track since I have been accustomed to DVS’ comedic side, but I enjoy the added layer of his personality that he exposes here. He proves here that he is growing as an artist, and we should all enjoy his growing complexity. This track is real hip hop and just may be the best thing out to date.
