At a time when rappers are dropping names of foreign countries that they’ve never even been to, it’s a fresh change of pace to hear a rapper saying he doesn’t want to leave his people. He’s not a gaudy show-off, preferring Mickey D’s over five-star restaurants (“Dominic”) and being on the block instead of shopping in Rome (“17”). That alone is a crowning achievement.ĭom has a gift for elevating everyday events and making them sound majestic, or at the very least, effortless. But his new album Get Home Safely will mark the first time that the independent artist is being sold in Best Buy. His debut mixtape 25th Hour dropped in 2008, and by 2011 he was iTunes-certified with From the Westside With Love II on iTunes.
It’s been a long time coming for Dom Kennedy’s first physical retail album to drop.
