Dill the Giant - "Morning Dew"

2021 seems to be the year of Canadian hip hop for us. Winnipeg's Dill the Giant is back with a new laid back hip hop single. "Morning Dew" has a vibe reminiscent of early 90's hip hop, but it sounds purely like 2021. If we're going to keep up the 90's hip hop comparisons, it lives somewhere between gangsta rap and the more mainstream positive or funny hip hop of that period.

Dill the Giant says of the new song: “This song is one of my favourite songs I've ever made so far. Steve had this nice beat, and I was able to get the vibe, and feel instantly.

Without sounding like a throwback, "WEED MAN SON" captures the same kind of positive and reminiscing feel of some of the biggest early 90's rap songs. This is the kind of song that could easily be the summer song of 2021. Seriously, keep an eye on Dill the Giant. This is an artist with unlimited crossover appeal. Dill the Giant says of his new song: “I had the chance to go to Jamaica with my dad and walk around where he grew up so a lot of the song is about being Jamaican and some of the stuff I learned and saw while I got the chance to be over there with my family. It’s kind of a homage to the island, the culture, and my family, with the st...
