Al-Doms has dropped the video for his impressive new single, ‘Ice Cream’. “I wrote this song when I felt like everything I wanted to accomplish seemed so far away because of how slow everything around me was moving but my ambition was too big to put limits on myself,” explains the Virginia-based newcomer. His lifelong love of rap can be felt in his beats, flow and lyricism. Thick, funky basslines permeate the texture, while his delivery seems effortlessly smooth. A thread running through all of his music is his tight, sharp and powerful use of language – this should be evident on his upcoming project, New Dreams. -Dan Peeke
