“Safe”, our DOPEST Song of the Day, comes from Portland, OR based rap artist Q.Z. tha Leader. We’ve featured his tracks and projects on DCWS several times and he never ceases to amaze us with his insightful lyrics and great ear for production.

His latest single, “Safe”, explores the criminalization of POC in America. The poignant track finds Q.Z. tha Leader weaving an intimate story about his own interactions with law enforcement backed by a hazy boom bap soundscape and muted guitars. The song is a powerful ode to the social upheaval being witnessed in 2020.
