Arlo Maverick returns with new album, ‘Blue Collar.’

After his recent appearance on the blog with video for track, ‘Day Ones’ Canadian rap veteran ARLO MAVERICK unleashes his second solo album, ‘Blue Collar’. The collection draws on personal experiences to give a compelling account of the grind and hurdles of a blue-collar worker.

Much of the themes on ‘Blue Collar’ revolve around a universal pursuit of purpose, prosperity, and happiness, from the disillusionment of the job market after graduating from college to the gratification of indulging in material things to being undervalued at a 9 to 5. It’s an album that tries to capture the seemingly endless balancing act to meet our personal needs, satisfy our wants, and get ahead in an economic environment that makes it harder and harder to do so.

“This album comes from a personal place, but the overall message of hard-work, self-determination, and perseverance is a universal one,” said Arlo Maverick. “I hope this record resonates with blue-collar workers in Alberta, and across the country – people who are working hard, trying to keep their head above water and make their dreams a reality no matter how out of reach they may seem.”

On ‘Night Shift,’ the album’s centrepiece, Maverick ponders the tension between balancing making ends meet and material success, and the overwhelming sacrifices made to reap the rewards. In sharing his story of real-life hurdles, he offers an empowering anthem to the bleary-eyed workers of the world navigating similar experiences.

Elsewhere, the experienced rhymer takes his sound into bold new directions, experimenting with UK drill (‘Retail Therapy’), and flexing his vocals on the soulful trap number (‘Day Ones’), all while keeping true to his appetite for old-school hip-hop flavours and gospel (‘Losing My Religion’). 

Maverick holds nothing back on tracks like ‘On Me,’ about taking accountability to build a legacy, and the album closer, ‘Nothing of Value,’ which details the effects of an abusive shop floor supervisor and a worker’s eventual breaking point: “Walk away from everything/You’ll be lucky if I leave a note.” It’s an explosive finale that speaks to self-determination in the workforce, and the ability to take back control of one’s own fate.

Having spent the entirety of his solo career delivering scathing social critiques, with ‘Blue Collar’ he continues to spark conversations about the frustrations of work life and professional ambitions. An instantly relatable collection of songs, ‘Blue Collar’ positions the rapper as a powerful voice for the working-class.

Song of the Day: Grifter – Dimzy

Encapsulating the feeling and experience of being a young black man growing up in London, DIMZY‘s track, ‘Grafter’ explores the fight and will-power that comes with it. Referencing his Mum as a big inspiration behind his determination to succeed, he tells a tale that many will relate to.

Dimzy says of his hard-hitting release: “Grafter is about me being a young black man in the UK speaking on what London is like right now. It’s about my determination to win in everything including war, war on being the best version of my myself and to keep driving at full force no matter the barriers I come across. Every day for a young black man is war, so war is war, if you want it that’s that. I’m a hustler and grafter just like my mum; my mum was my biggest motivation when it came to getting money, she always found a way no matter the circumstances that’s why I’m the hustler I am today.”

Journeying back to 2012 where Dimzy first made his emergence in UK Rap and Drill, it was the year of 2014 that he began to play an integral role in the genre’s growth. Dimzy is prominently known for his part in 67, a collective of artists that pioneered Drill with their explosive single ‘Let’s Lurk’, who swiftly gained millions of views online. Since then, the rest is history! Housing various projects including ‘A Glass of Water’, ‘Dim the Lights’, and more, the London native is gearing up for an explosive year ahead.
