If you were wondering why Dominic Lord–a Harlem rapper/former A$AP affiliate with nothing but an arty video and a wicked Hudson Mohawke beat (for “Pierce”) behind him–has already been the subject of a bidding war and features at Pitchfork and Vice, we’ve now got exhibit B. And that’d be his new single “Old English,” another slightly off assembly of self-assured flows, chirping birds, plaintive pianos, and synths that won’t sit still.
Grab it, “Pierce” and a pitched-down remix below, and be sure to watch out for the MC’s debut EP, Fashion Show, in early September…
