Kaboom Atomic x The Dirty Sample's collaboration album, 2 Cents, is the opus of two old heads barking at the moon and hating on modern rap. It's not that they hate modern rap; this is just the stuff they love. Instead of glorifying youth to an unfair degree, the duo lean in on their age and experience to bring you a sound that is weathered with grumpiness. And humour. The Dirty Sample's dusty, uptempo boom bap beats provide a fun backdrop for Kaboom Atomic's mostly serious subject matter that is delivered with a sense of humour in a frequently fast-paced flow. And though the title obviously refers to the two cents given by these two old gents, it also does double duty as a subtle critique of the little money paid to artists for Spotify plays. Can Kaboom Atomic x The Dirty Sample break even?
