King David
It’s been a long time coming, but Heaven and Hell the solo debut from Devolo is available instores and online today. I’d been feeling all the stuff that Mark had been leaking from it over the last few months and now all you “try before you buy” dudes can peep the album in it’s entirety over on Devolo’s myspace.
I feel he’s always had a certain charm that has shone through in his work. In part due to his ability to come up with catchy melodies, but I think there’s also a certain authenticity/innocence in his stuff which most folk can relate to. He’s just got “islander styles” for lack of a better description – where some dudes would sound contrived trying similar things, his local steez always comes through and gives off the vibe like “this dude is a good cunt” when you hear him. You can watch the video for his new single “Too Shy” above, that hook is the catchiest shit out. Sounds like it’s gonna be good lp for the summer.

Devolo is cool. i like his style
