D.O.C. releases a new single, “Remove The Chains”, discusses mental freedom, systemic pressure, and the necessity to break the cycles that hinder personal development. The bars are straight and to the point, and the storytelling is thoughtful, making for a strong track, and the East Coast influence from the old school is authentic throughout. Timely, insightful, and true to the tradition of hip-hop as a platform for awareness and change.
