SolarSiah releases a raw dose of East Coast grit with "Dosage"

SolarSiah's new joint, "Dosage," is a raw injection of East Coast rap vibes that slaps you into attention. The lyrical punch of "Dosage" is wrapped in a raw, uncut vibe that plugs into anyone who loves hip-hop's true roots. SolarSiah and E THE REAL demonstrate here that genuine artistry in rap is still well enough to stomp around: raw, honest, unrelenting. If you love that raw East Coast sound with an underground modern twist, this song should be your next fix.

You hear that distinct boom-bap influence when the beat drops hypnotic and forceful. The spare production doesn't clutter the space; it just finds the ideal room for E THE REAL's razor-sharp bars to step to the forefront. Its balance is masterful, and the beat is supporting but never overbearing, allowing each word to land with clarity.

E THE REAL sounds like the hardnosed underground rap of nearly two decades ago: His delivery is sharp and self-assured, and he spins a deft narrative picture even as he keeps that underground sensibility alive. He raps with a clear-eyed hardness, even especially! When the subject is a hard-loving woman who feels rooted in the spirit of golden-era hip-hop but not stuck in it. Pulling off nostalgia without being dated and "Dosage" hits the mark is a rare trick.

 "Dosage" is a song for purists, lyrical heads, and fans of real, non-pretend rap. It's music that makes you hit pause, that compels replay if only to find another line or clever twist of phrase you might have missed the first 10 times around. Some are unwanted in a landscape of flash and filler, and "Dosage" presents as a beacon of substance and skill. "Dosage" belongs on any underground hip-hop playlist and is must-add material for anyone creating a set of legit songs, from the heart and through the hands, all the way.
