The rapper and songwriter known as M
Dot Pitts has released his cornerstone full-length album, “Broken
Hearts and Shattered Dreams.” The flagship record includes no fewer
than 18 original tracks for an approximate total listening time
approaching two hours, making it the most comprehensive collection of
M Dot Pitts music to date. It has been proudly published on the
Warset Entertainment independent music label. Thumping and rolling
with plenty of bass and boom-bap and showcasing the top-notch writing
and rapping skills of M Dot Pitts, “Broken Hearts and Shattered
Dreams” is an LP rap fans everywhere should hear.
M Dot Pitts cites as main artistic
influences Tupac Shakur (especially his Makaveli-era work), Scarface,
Devin the Dude, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Eminem, 50 Cent, Tech N9ne,
Yukmouth, and Snoop Dogg. Observant rap fans will note that these MCs
come from every part of the US, and that's a big part of the overall
style of “Broken Hearts and Shattered Dreams.”
Born in Los Angeles, having spent years
in Florida and living now in the Maryland, Wash. DC area, M Dot Pitts
makes rap music with something for everybody. His music has been
described as “the perfect blend of West Coast style, East Coast
lyricism, Midwest flow and Dirty South melodies.” Appropriately,
the songs on his new LP have qualities from every major hip-hop scene
in the nation.
In addition to the considerable talents
of M Dot Pitts, himself, “Broken Hearts and Shattered Dreams”
also features Ms. Toi, Boo Kapone, Eastwood, Young Lano, Hot 16, D.
Hella Fresh, and live guitar by Los Angeles musician Levi Mitchell.
Yet the main event at “Broken
Hearts...” is the driving force behind Pitts' music, that of
unmitigated, unhesitating and often brutal honesty.
“I wanted to create a body of work
that was a true, accurate depiction of my real day-to-day
life,” writes M Dot Pitts. “Everything I rap about about is
things that I do, go through, live and see. I've got songs about
hustling, hitting the club, relationships, sex, love, going through
hard times, etc. If it's a part of my life, it's incorporated
into my music, whether good or bad. And I think I have a pretty
interesting life, LOL.”
Regardless of whether the hip-hop fan
is into dance tracks or urban poetry, this dedication to earnestness
is refreshing in a scene full of braggadocio and endless posturing.
“I feel like waaaay too many rappers
rap about things that they know they're not really about,”
Pitts writes. “Too much of it is fake. When it comes to me and my
music, everything is real and it's a true portrait of my real
life. For that fact alone I feel it's what makes my music/lyrics
different from what a lot of my peers put out. I'll show you my pain,
my love, my rage, my happiness, my failures, my successes and
everything in between. Simply because – I'm real.”
