Lyricism is often looked at as a lost art in modern-day rap. With so much focus on making the catchiest melody or the newest flow, high-level wordplay is becoming a thing of the past. Some rappers however, center their craft around clever wordplay and storytelling. This is also the case for 25 year-old New Jersey rapper Dare Toran. He originally started rapping/freestyling in in 2009 but took a deep hiatus took focus on college. In 2017, he began recording and putting out high-quality music like his latest single, “Vulture Babies”.
