Writer's picture: BUZZ LABUZZ LA

Joe Dirrt released his single titled “I’m Livin”, a song that has caught our attention with its fun and charismatic vibe, and hard-hitting flow. The production in “I’m Livin” was manufactured perfectly. The beat had a nice blend between both urban R&B and gritty hip-hop. The melodic keys helped the conviction feel more powerful while the bass was a slapper. One of my favorite key elements to the single “I’m Livin” was most definitely the hook. It was contagious, catchy, and became highly addictive for us. From the melody to the witty lyrics, we thought Joe Dirrt couldn’t surprise us anymore and we were well wrong! The delivery was FIRE.


Joe Dirrt showed an aggressive aspect to his rap by giving a dynamic and highly passionate conviction of each lyric. His influence of hip-hop is very classic and iconic. With him being from the East Coast, he brings a lot of flavor to his lyrics like some of the great artists from New York areas like Jay-Z, Biggie Small, Rakim, and etc. But what can’t be ignored is the laid back Cali style that he brings to the table like Kurupt, Snoop Dogg, Dj Quik and etc. These two power connections and fusion of styles have presented us with the masterful art of what it takes to be a legendary hip hop artist. Joe Dirrt has impressed us to the fullest capacity by releasing a cultivating and groundbreaking hit single like “I’m Livin” that we can draw ourselves immensely too.
