Dallas’ own Tunk flanks A.Dd+ in the same way Cool Breeze stayed around the Dungeon Family for all those years, a supporting character more than capable of stepping into the spotlight and snatching stardom for himself. His entire No Defeat EP comes on the heels of a resurrection for Dallas hip-hop, a percussion heavy concoction steered by Breeze the Beat Machine where synths and drums are king and authenticity in the face of struggle is the call to fame.

The EP’s title track features the poet side of A.Dd+ in Paris Pershun swipes a key portion of Kanye West’s “All Falls Down” over a mixture of high trumpets and snare drums. Tunk has the idea of perspective rap down pat from the mentions of car notes, poverty and the stresses wrapped in between to some sort of growing aesthetic. The new age of being broke while constantly being in the land of riches weighs heavily from South Dallas to New York City, where Tunk knows especially that his voice need be heard.
