Dagha's sophomore album "The Divorce" includes productions from DJ Real and Insight. A
leading proponent of “grown man rap” Dagha bared his soul to classic
sounding east coast boom bap on his last full-length album 2008’s The
Divorce (Lewis Recordings). That album lyrically captured his tumultuous
marriage and the dissolution of that union while not holding back on
the real life decisions and mistakes he’s made. In 2010 Dagha also
dropped an EP for Noise Is The Trigger, his project with New York
beatmaker Psych Major which had appearances from Smoothe Da Hustler, Lil
Dap and Al-J.
In May 2012, one of Beantown’s most consistent emcees,
Dagha has announced the release of a two-song single with live band Project Tree
on May 11th. Though they have performed together numerous times in the
past few years, the two songs (Let It Go and Mama Africa) mark the
first time the emcee and the live band have released material together.
Composed of guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion and at times backing
vocalists and acoustic instruments, Project Tree bring a roots reggae
and R&B sensibility to Dagha’s conscious but fierce lyrics. The
live pairing has performed alongside such notables as Insight, Edan, Mr. Lif, Moe
Pope, Lisa Bellow, Big Drift, Ayanna Pressley, Colonel McGovern, and Euloge of Benin.
The two songs will be part of
the full-length album “Complex Simplicitree" that Dagha and Project Tree
are preparing for a fall 2012 release.
