So D. Montayne is an up and coming artist from Santa Fe, New Mexico. If you like Atmosphere, you'll love this guy. He really takes rap back to its roots as a form of urban poetry, concentrating on the lyrics and wordplay rather than falsified depictions of glamour, fame, riches, and sex which are so prevalent in the lyrics of today's big artists. He concentrates on themes such as poverty, chasing one's dream, and self-respect. I'd fit this guy in with the likes of Slug or Macklemore with his writing style as opposed to a Pitbull, Lil Wayne, or Kanye West. His concentration is on his writing, not the beat.
That being said, listen to his new video, released today, which features a spoken word piece by him. To make this even more impressive, keep in mind that this was written in one of his Management classes at the University of Notre Dame.
