Zero Star - “‘72 Dolphins”
As a dude who lives in South Florida (Have I mentioned that I want to get out of this godforsaken state? I think I might have…), South Floridians are often reminded that they have a sports team other than the Miami Heat (and don’t even get me started on the dick-riding fest that was last season), namely, the Miami Dolphins, a team we’d like to collectively forget due to their recent dismal season(s).
But they haven’t always blown chunks, as many, many years ago they were a team to be reckoned with, particularly their 1972 season, where they went undefeated and won Super Bowl VII. It’s this team that Ohio emcee Zero Star is channeling on his latest EP, Don’t Look Now, a release I’ve been digging for a while. Star’s got talent, a dude who is quite perceptive with his rhymes and topics, and along with his producer Maggz, crafts smooth sounding tracks.
The centerpiece of Don’t Look Now, and seriously a contender for one of 2011’s slickest sleeper hits is “‘72 Dolphins,” a banger where Star declares his intentions for greatness over a terrific ’70s-ish beat with excellent horns. Star puts in serious work here, and does the ‘72 Dolphins proud.
