"Dadadoh has just released the most exciting local hip hop album of the year, Radical, which has been a while in the making after a slow build-up of singles and a video here and there. Some significantly different versions of the songs have appeared previously that sounded more like demos, but they have now been shaped into album-worthy material. The mix isn’t solely focused on hip hop; there’s a lot of genre-bending experimentation, from synth-heavy electronica to more soul-drenched R&B, which is compelling, and the album’s pacing is perfect to allow full enjoyment. Whether it’s in-your-face rap excursions like “Do It” or the impressive fusion of “Get You Away,” Bryan Preston AKA Dadadoh has laid down one of the smoothest records of the year. While Radical may technically be a solo album, Dadadoh had plenty of help along the way. 'I really learned a lot about working with people through this record,' Preston said. 'People get the assumption that if you’re solo, you should do everything yourself, but you actually have to work with as many people as you can to make something really great! I can’t stress the importance of keeping really good people around you that understand your vision and believe in it as much as you do.' The album features guest appearances from MC/DC, Mr. Uu, Dirty Dalla$, Kali Kal, WOLFZiE and Curt Flo, as well as some conversation with folk punkster Andy Warpigs. While Preston produced the album himself, it was mastered by Scott Mitting (20 Ft. Neon Jesus, Militia Joan Hart). The results are fantastic." - Mitchell Hillman, JAVA Magazine "The Future of Dadadoh and TVLife Entertainment is uncertain, but it is clear that Radical is a big step toward something new." - Doug S., PHX SUX "Dadadoh is local rapper Bryan Preston, who celebrates the physical release of “Radical,” an alternative hip-hop album he mastered with Scott Mitting. 'I'd been working on this album before I went on tour last summer,' Preston says. 'During that tour I really got to learn what worked and what didn't when it came to presenting my music to a larger audience outside the city. My previous album was called ‘Infernal’ and it was made during this dark time in my life and that really resonated with Phoenix but not so much on tour. Every once in a while I'd add something new to my set that I was working on just to see how it went and people really liked that stuff more than the songs from ‘Infernal’ and I knew that was the direction I wanted to go in with the project once I got back.' He actually set aside rapping for two or three months when he got back from tour and a family member passed away right around his birthday. 'I wanted to pursue standup comedy,' he says. 'It became a very therapeutic way for me to deal with it. I spent every Monday night at Lawn Gnome honing my skills and trying out new material. I actually began writing jokes more than I was writing lyrics because it gave me a new way to express myself and it made me realize how healing comedy could be. I think I also felt like I had run out of things to say in my music. I actually counted one day and realized I had recorded and released 104 songs. There was nothing else I felt I needed to say but after the joke writing and living through the passing of my cousin Jorel, I realized I wanted to make something fun and sexy. The album is ultimately a celebration of my time in Phoenix combined with everything I've learned about myself since I've been here." - Ed Masley, The Arizona Republic Released August 19, 2016 Executive Producer | Bryan Preston Recorded at Jamarvin’s Room in Tempe, AZ Mastered by Scott Mitting at the 20 Ft.
