Da Crook
Who Declares War?

Why you should listen: Born and raised in Toronto’s west end, Da Crook gives us a sophomore record that may sound like a rapper entering a battle with another rapper. Instead, Da Crook’s storytelling follows through with precise wordplay track by track as he sheds light on personal demons, such as losing friends and rising to his laurels. Who Declares War? combines the grimy productions and finesse of wordplay into an underdog story for the rap scene. –SW
