Dally Auston - Feathers

Review by Rainer Helmes

Feathers, the latest album by Dally Auston, is an impressive and thought-provoking work of art. The Chicago rapper's third studio album showcases his lyrical prowess and artistic vision, delivering a unique and refreshing sound that sets him apart from his contemporaries.

Throughout the album, Auston demonstrates his versatility as an artist, effortlessly switching between introspective and hard-hitting tracks. The album's opening track, "Long Time," sets the tone for the rest of the album, with Auston's smooth flow and introspective lyrics drawing listeners in.

Tracks like "Raising Hell" and "Myself" showcase Auston's ability to deliver hard-hitting bars with ease, while tracks like "All Dogs Go to Heaven" and "Hate Me Too" demonstrate his introspective side, with lyrics that delve into themes of self-doubt and self-discovery.

The album's production, primarily handled by fellow Chicagoan Qari, is top-notch, with a mix of soulful and trap-inspired beats that complement Auston's flow perfectly. The album's features, including fellow Pivot Gang members Saba and Joseph Chilliams, as well as Mick Jenkins, add an extra layer of depth to the album.
