Portland rapper Donte Thomas is one of my favorite lyricists on the rise currently, falling effortlessly into both the world of wordsmiths and storytellers alike, and his latest effort “Vermillion” is great evidence of both of these skillsets. Additionally, the hook also has a distinct melodic component that further shows Donte’s ability. I truly loved this track and am more than excited for his upcoming project, set to release August 30th.
