DaVinci – The Day The Turf Stood Still

Following a stream of promo leaks and videos DaVinci’s debut album The Day The Turf Stood Still dropped today.

The press release gives reason to the hunger you hear on every track from the Fillmore District emcee.

DaVinci, a young MC raised in the Fillmore, is a prime example of the duality of this area, who at the age of 13 was homeless, hungry, and hopeful for a way out. Explains DaVinci, “My music has everything to do with my environment: from robbing, killing, pimpin’ to selling and abusing drugs,” he explains about his heavy content. “It’s a direct reflection of what my friends and family have been through and are still going through.” While his story is similar to many other young rappers upbringings, DaVinci was surrounded by an incredible pool of Fillmore talent and by studying with the greats, he was able to sharpen his skills and aim higher than most, cultivating his story-telling abilities beyond mere drug-and-gun-talk.

DaVinci’s offering all sorts of mediums to cop his work through, so listen via the Bandcamp stream & if you’re feelin’ it, support it.
