Label: Fake Four

Genre: Hip hop

Comments: A skittering, propulsive beat lifts Connecticut-based artist David Ramos' storytelling to new heights as he dissects his own mourning through the frame of the digital age. For a portion of his third album, Sento La Tua Mancanza (or "I Miss You" in Italian) acts as a heartfelt tribute to his grandmother by showcasing the aches and pains of growing up; but for a good majority of the album, the tracks are disjointed and don't know which direction to take in expressing sorrow (hyper rap? experimental rock? acoustic laments?). Stick with tracks 3, 10, 11 and 2.
