Tomorrow night Chicago MC Adad celebrates the forthcoming release of his album, Drifted, with a headlining show at the Promontory. Judging from the music I’ve heard, I interpret the title as a reflection of feeling increasingly detached from society. On “Danger Us,” Adad raps from the perspective of a fictional protagonist, one who sees a mother prepare to make funeral arrangements for a baby and grapples with the weight of having family members wind up in jail or get shot to death. The MC combines the message with a smooth, winsome soul instrumental, and even though he raps from the perspective of someone who feels trapped, Adad manages to make “Danger Us” feel a little hopeful.
