Song Review - “Living Is Hard, Dying Is Easy.” By DK Ph@ntom!
“Living Is Hard, Dying Is Easy.” By DK Ph@ntom! is a complex series of bars that illustrate the often fantasy-driven rhymes associated with the fiction of 1998’s Eminem and the dark themes of the late rapper xxxtentacion. This song is a brief, but memorable track by DK Ph@ntom! Which serves more as a series of well-addressed letters rather than actual lyrics.
Perhaps the best thing that artist DK Ph@ntom! does is have the proper beat selection. Crafted by producer Haake, the instrumentation is the perfect building block for DK Ph@ntom! canvas. It’s dark enough to paint a realistic story yet good enough to remain captivating. While as a lyricist, James is not an Asher Roth. However, his ability to create a piece of music that’s easy to follow along with and matches the mood of the beat is a strong point that should not be overlooked.
Overall, this song is one that shows some potential from the artist DK Ph@ntom! With an album set to release on the 25th, expect more from Ph@ntom soon.
