Whirlwind D - Lucky Number/Do It Now (Double Single)
UK Hip-Hop artist Whirlwind D returns, this time treating us with a double A-side, “Lucky Number” ft. Lewis Parker and Specifik and “Do It Now” ft. Smoove. The tracks contrast each other with one “Lucky Number” presenting a bleak tone, whilst “Do It Now” tells the audience to take a step forward in determination, both songs offering quality verses and top-class production.
Whirlwind D offers up two contrasting tracks with “Lucky Number” presenting a darker, and almost eerie-sounding track, using gambling symbolism throughout to convey the song’s dystopian messages. Whirlwind D shows off his lyrical prowess in the track, offering well-crafted verses that convey profound imagery whilst keeping the listener fixed on the hooks. On the other side, “Do It Now” offers up a completely different Hip-Hop track featuring 70’s Soul sounding samples provided by Smoove, with an uplifting story of positivity and determination delivered by Whirlwind D. Despite the two tracks following different themes and sonic styles, they remain coherent as a piece of work, with both tracks complimenting each other and working as the exact type of thing you’d want to hear after the other one, either listening to something uplifting following the darker tone, or something gritty to nod your head to after the laid back vibes.
Whirlwind D has been releasing music since the 90’s, using his brand of Hip-Hop to successfully taking him across the world and to support some incredible Hip-Hop legends such as Public Enemy and Wu-Tang Clan. Over the years he has garnered attention from publications like DJ Mag and Hip-Hop connection as well as seeing airtime on BBC 6 Music. Alongside the release of “Lucky Number” Whirlwind D presents its video, helping convey the eerie atmosphere of the track with muted animations that’ll get the hairs on your neck standing up a bit.
