Whether he's performing, producing, dropping collaborative projects or dropping Basement Rap Radio mixes, it's hard not to see Butch Dawson's name pop up in Baltimore music circles. Known for a sound that points more towards key-heavy production and loopy synths, Dawson's latest full length offering, PREY, is one of his most trap-heavy outputs and as he descibes in a note below, it soundtracks one of the darkest periods in his life. Stream PREY below.

From Butch Dawson:

"PREY is a dark and sinister project. It's about being in my own world of consciousness and what comes out of it musically. I started this project in a depressed, angry state of mind and i felt like the color red worked for what i wanted as far as art direction. The slogan I used to promote the tape was "prey on silence" and that basically means that I'm killing silence with noise."
