Dabrye (pronounced “DAB-ree”) is just one alias of Ghostly artist Tadd Mullinix, who explores hip-hop with head-nodding beats and saw-tooth bass lines, with a keen eye to forward-thinking production and rhythms. Dabrye has earned considerable praise from both the hip-hop underground (Jay Dee, Jurassic 5) and the electronic music press, earning him a Next 100 mention from URB in 2002 and praise from publications as diverse as Rolling Stone to The Wire.

The debut Dabrye LP, One/Three, appeared in 2002 to major acclaim and was quickly followed by Instrmntl for Scott “Prefuse 73” Herren’s Eastern Developments label. Both albums earned glowing reviews for their rhythmic innovation and minimalist execution. Dabrye began work on his next release, Two/Three, in early 2003 with the song “Game Over (feat. Jay Dee and Phat Kat),” featuring Jay Dee and Phat Kat. He also collaborated on two tracks for Prefuse 73’s One Word Extinguisher.

You obviously haven't heard flying lotus' july heat album - it's chill as fuck. Based on 1983 alone, I actually didn't care too much for lotus. After hearing July Heat, Raw Cartoons, and Reset, he's pretty much jumped to my top 5. Dabrye's solid, but his beats just sound rudimentary as hell compared to some other electronic-hip hop producers (caural, lotus, etc). Each to their own, I guess.

talkin' about the beats, i dare to say that i don't really get what you guys praise flying lotus for, cause he gets me tired in a minute. most of reset and that game over rmx are nauseating, literally. dabrye's not flawless too, some pieces annoy with no mc's, but not in that way, it's bearable, you can breathe, and i like his innovative approach overall. suffocating with fly lo though, sorry.

I think it's a little of both to be honest. Some of dabrye's beats on 2/3 were good, but not good enough to hold their own for 4-minute run times w/o rap assistance. The dilla, big tone, guilty, and a.g. tracks were fire. And despite the pretense, I think kadence, invincible, and finale had dope flows. Dude should have just chosen better emcees IMO. Vast Aire, DOOM, and a few others blew it.

two/three could've been so much better without rhymin' on most of the tracks. dilla, phat kat, ta'raach, doom, finale, invincible, wildchild maybe - those are truly enjoyable, others.. kadence? nothing but pretentious. beans? failed. a.g., big tone? annoying. vast aire's contribution is a total disaster, really disappointing. while the beats are brilliant all the way through, mad props to dabrye.
