Much to my dismay, The Severed Ear is not a Blue Velvet concept record. That said, the minute the loop on “Catch the Drum” kicked in—with its kung-fu movie flutes, bone-dry bass-and-snare crack, and ululating Tibetan monk chant—I moved past my initial disappointment pretty fucking quickly. Context: I first encountered Doza the Drum Dealer in Issue 4 of O.G. Press—for my money, the best hip-hop magazine publishing right now—where he spoke at length about how his father was adamant about instilling a knowledge of their Puerto Rican heritage into Doza and his brother, teaching them all of the percussive instruments core to that music— “timbales, congos, bongos, the clave, the guiro, the maracas…. We used to have these house parties where musicians would come over […] and he would have us sit in with the grown folks.” So it’s no surprise that the rhythms are the backbone of Ear, from the phenomenally menacing stomp (draped with stomach-churning strings) in “Hypocrite,” to the bright, rolling drum pattern that propels “Imagine That”—a song that lyrically plays like a belated sequel to Jadakiss’s “Why.” It also shows off one of Doza’s other chief skills: The way he gftts the melodic hook to unlikely instruments. Oboe? Sure, why not. Wailing sax in “Misery”? Hell yes. And it works! In fact, it works so well that the fact that Doza is also a killer rapper is almost icing. Blessed with a gruff, gravelly voice that recalls Cappadonna at his finest, Doza provides the grit that offsets his sumptuous production. He does his father proud.
