It’s been years in the making and has been highly anticipated by many fans all over the world.  The wait is now over as DGAF has released their debut self-titled album under Suburban Noize records.  DGAF is a gathering of seasoned punk rockers who found a love for creating hip hop music.  The band consists of four friends who have known one another for well over ten years thanks to loud music and good times.

DGAF was actually a lifestyle fashioned in California with help from the Kottonmouth Kings (KMK) in the nineties.  KMK, as if you could not tell by the band’s name, was all about the marijuana fueled by mixed elements of punk with hip hop.  Along the side of the success of the KMK came the label Suburban Noize.  It was in fact more than just a label, it was a family of close friends with tight connections seeking good times.  DGAF the band came together to create a soundtrack to the lifestyle these punk rockers have been living for years.

Consisting of members Chucky Chuck, Gillies, SaintDog, and Big Hoss, the foursome have all been involved with Suburban Noize in one way or another.  SaintDog was the former front man of the KMK but departed to pursue his own career with his brother Big Hoss.  Chucky Chuck and Gillies have been friends since the high school days and took the DGAF attitude into daily effect.  The two friends had dreams of becoming MCs with help from the Suburban Noize family their dreams came true.

I can’t say the CD took my attention at the beginning.  Songs like “Damn Right” and “We Came Here” sounded like most of the Suburban Noize catalog I have heard before.  I enjoyed the beats tremendously but it seemed to be missing something.

“Burn” reminded me of KMK and it should as Daddy X was featured in the song.  I am not a pot smoker anymore and never really was so I could have done without this song.  Now if you celebrate 420 and like to burn trees, this song gives you another reason to light one up.
