Brooklyn artist, Deuce Ellis has been releasing very dope and unique tracks with accompanying videos and "Dirty Parables" is no different. Fresh off his tour (that he did because of a Facebook status) he is back to creating art in Brooklyn and throwing his infamous 'secret location' parties. With deep insight in the music industry, Deuce is paving his own lane and creating a cult-like following. He makes an impression on everyone he meets and it's most likely because he is very down-to-earth. One of my favorite quotes from this track is "I copped the dictionary, cut out the word impossible. Pay no attention to those imposters boo." Very excited to see what is in store for Deuce next album.

Probably my favorite track of the EP because of the cool piano melody, snare tap rap cadence, and killer violin loop. I’d be a fool to say the religious metaphors are not impressive as well but that never fails. It’s almost like he is his own lyrical competition throughout the EP. A play on words of the Jacob’s Ladder parable by referencing it as Jacob’s Escalator, Deuce shows that through steady work and faith he’s destined to get what’s his all the while competition’s trying to keep up. This track puts into perspective both sides of life’s spectrum that Deuce Ellis draws from; through struggles of biblical contradictions and lowlife surroundings and an immense drive to succeed regardless of where you come from. His involvement in the rap game is expressed by a religious revelation theme of world’s end and the references are pretty nasty in this one. The Dirty Parables track is a confirmation of the understanding of the Cult.
