Drezus is a hip hop
artist from Saskatoon, currently based in Calgary. He was also mentioned in the Tom Barnes Mic
article, specifically for "Warpath".
He lists influences like
Wu Tang Clan and Tupac, which can be heard, but also lists several R&B
influences like Al Green and Marvin Gaye. Their influence can be heard as well.
"Me & U"
and "All I Can Be" display some funk undertones, while "Nehiyaw
Girl" and "Rose" giving more of an idea of the getting down
aspects.
Overall it still feels
very much within the realm of hip hop, especially based on its social
consciousness. "Warpath" is a good example of this, but I especially
responded to "Get Up" and "Red Winter".
