My Comments:

I have in the past several months grown to become a fan of David Dallas.  1. For the way his creative lyrics flow through those pure hip hop beats. And 2. because he is of Samoan descent  and us islanders always support one another. But honestly, where he comes from and how he looks has very little to do with the great quality of his music. David Dallas’s music is what I’ve been missing from most hip hop music now a days. I am glad I put time aside for a moment and gave his album (The Rose Tint) a listen to.  

So, if you like what you hear SPREAD the WORD!
