REBECCA DGD (DAWGGONE DAVIS) "RAY BANS IN THE RAIN"

I remember growing up in a post-punk era. I remember in the 90's there was a strange dichotomy in the "alternative music" scene between the more optimistic music of REM/Depeche Mode, and the more despondent Nirvana, NIN, and later Rage Against the Machine. For sure, punk rock and punk rock attitude has been far from "burn it all down" for a very long time now, which is why it's refreshing to see artists like Dawggone Davis, give her own spin with a straight IDGAF track "Raybans in the Rain." 

The Distorted vocals walk the line between spoken-word poetry and rap - occasionally breaking into the triplet figure made famous by so many trap artists in the late 2000s. The beat has a grungy backing to it, and the hook has some really nice/edgy male vocals (think "Down" by 311, and you kind of get the vibe). The track has got some serious attitude, which is nice to hear from the female creative sphere.
