While his bulldozer style is enough to make The Day the Turf Stood Still a success, DaVinci’s biggest asset is his ability to engages convention, inhabiting these well-worn ideas and then melting them into new shapes. As a rapper, DaVinci is more substance than style - he delivers his trife life tales with a deliberate commanding baritone. There’s even the occasional interspersed Jay-Z line. However, you’d be rightfully noting the old New York style permeating DaVinci’s official debut: dusty breaks, fast-forwarded soul samples, and airy jazz loops (“Ghetto to Mars” recalls a less paranoid version of Mobb Deep’s “Up North Trip”). DaVinci – The Day the Turf Stood Still– Ī cursory skim of The Day the Turf Stood Still might convince you that DaVinci is the latest underground talent from New York, but the longtime Fillmore resident reps San Francisco through and through.
