Smooth. Cerebral. Introspective. These are only a few words to describe California rapper Jack Dice. With his precise and direct delivery, Dice follows in the footsteps of other conscious hip hop artists while branching off to form his own path. He flows over lo-fi and jazz beats, blending styles elegantly, switching from chopped-up bars to even coats of mindfulness, all while conjuring artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Homeboy Sandman, and early Kendrick Lamar. Jack Dice’s music is the perfect mix of chill, lo-fi beats, intelligent, thought-provoking lyrics in a culture that wants to keep everyone asleep.
