Sharp bars, distinct vocals and a playful confidence that captivates across anthemic old-school hip hop beats and catchy jams. DJ S-Three has fun with the process, throughout the 18 original rap tracks of his brand new album Platinum.
For the opener, That’s My DJ blends scratch DJ production and retro basslines, synths and riffs, with a classic nineties pirate-radio energy and passion on the mic. It’s catchy but not without storytelling and smart lyrical twists, and these qualities continue within the equally energising Walk On These Goals.
DJ S-Three brings the motivation and power required to lift the mood, and it feels natural – a vocalist, lyricist and musician with all three key points captured across each song.
From the bold to the romantic and cinematic, Dress You Down adds flavour and something X-rated for the late-night listeners, while Every Time takes that rasp and grit to new levels, for a floor-filler of intense passion and storytelling that’s snappy and anthemic as ever.
The new album isn’t without its depth for contrast and connection, far from it. Tracks such as Life Heavy gift DJ S-Three an opportunity to pour his truth and soul into the process, and this lower-key performance is poetic, thoughtful, reflective, and deeply vulnerable – even promising a twist of electric guitar to further the passion and power of a creative mix.
That realism is massively valuable, and with Selfish following afterwards, DJ S-Three proves himself both a talented performer and lyricist at the helm, blending authenticity with charm, bravado and volume, throughout the eclectic but always recognisable sound and style of Platinum.
