DUCKWRTH – Fall Back an exclusive live performance for Vevo DSCVR, the channel for the best in new music. LA rapper Jared Lee doesn’t care for overly specific genre designations or stylistic approaches. So even though newcomers might hear him as an MC, this dread-laden whirlwind, who dropped his first album ‘I’m Uugly’ in 2016, swerves around enough to be deemed a crazed black rocker or a postmodern R&B envelope-pusher or, simply put, an imaginative producer who can equally impress you with a guitar riff or synth line.
True, he came up in South Central when Snoop, DJ Quick, Pac and others ruled the local radio, and their subject matter was gang banging. But thanks to his mom’s heavy hand at child-rearing, Duckwrth stayed out of trouble and was more into X-Man and comic fantasy characters. He fell for music before too long, though. Wielding the kind of try-anything vibe you find in OutKast’s best work, Duckwrth moves with the kind of experimental vibe you hear in Jaden Smith’s work. That’s what made his collab with The Kickdrums so unique. Spend an hour absorbing everything from the burb beats of “Bernal Heights” to digi-groove of “TAMAGOTCHI” and you’ll know why we were excited when he came in to roar through the new “Fall Back.” Crank up our exclusive performance – Duckwrth gives it his all on this one.
