DC The Don just released his most recent mixtape, SACRED HEART (+) on all streaming platforms. While the project originally dropped during Christmastime in 2022 exclusively on SoundCloud, DC decided to feed a larger set of fans. Moreover, the 15-track project is an energetic, buzzing, and cohesive display of alternative hip-hop.
Furthermore, the Milwaukee, Wisconsin native plays with a lot of different sounds on this record. Of course, hip-hop runs quite strongly throughout it, whether it be through energetic verses or the percussion style. On the other hand, there's also quite a bit of digital influence on this mixtape, calling back to genres like hyperpop, digicore, and more. Also, there's a strong undercurrent of rock in many forms, whether emo, alternative, or otherwise. Overall, DC's sound defies genre categorization, because him and so many others carve out their own lanes.
For those of you who already heard SACRED HEART (+), there is some unfortunate news. One of the album's tracks, "SO SICK," did not make it onto streaming services like Spotify. While this might disappoint some fans, sample clearance issues came into play. However, the new streaming release includes three tracks featured on the albums deluxe version. Moreover, these are "RUNWAY!", "BREAK IN HALF," and "BROTHERS."
Meanwhile, these stylistic influences already came through on DC's previous album, MY OWN WORST ENEMY. Although SACRED HEART (+) might have a deeper story behind it, MY OWN WORST ENEMY definitely has that going for it. On the project, the 23-year-old tackles his alter ego and the two warring sides of him that his creative artistry might suggest.
