D-Sisive's new Urbnet release, Vaudeville, is a slow, yawning collection of dissonant rap yarns that wind tighter and tighter around the listener as the album carries on. The lecturing tone of Vaudeville is present throughout, even over the occasional major-chord rasta-shuffles such as "Never Knew Me" and "Scaredy Cat." The underlying music is outstanding and the songwriting is thick. The dominant tone is one of disenfranchisement often delivered in second and third person narratives that are often melodramatic. If that's your thing, here's a better, more artistic and Canadian Eminem for you.
