Leveling up all around, 17-year-old gold-certified hip-hop disruptor tana presents his much-anticipated new DALE EP out now via Galactic Records/Republic Records. He teased its arrival earlier this week by releasing the single “HI-ROLLER FOREIGNER” on his 17th birthday, which was instantly met with critical acclaim. The record features airy synths that swell over roaring 808s, leading to a chantable chorus in which he asks, “Do you want to party?” If you do, he will oblige… Elsewhere on DALE, keys glimmer through hazy echoes on “BET,” and his flow coasts over a skittering bounce towards a smoked-out refrain. Then, there’s “MODELS.” Sparse production draws attention to an off-kilter cadence punctuated by his unpredictable bounce. Lyrically, he opens up like never before across the project, without holding anything back. Ultimately, the EP finds tana evolving at lightspeed, stretching sonic boundaries with charisma and confidence and immersing fans in his vision like never before.
