DawgGone Davis tells it like it is, so in the pursuit of justice I will do the same. Her new track “No More” tells the story of her marriage unraveling, but also her true feelings. Backed by an electric guitar, a live drum set and a male vocalist that can sing to the rafters, Davis continues to make her mark in the Christian hip hop genre. “No More” is both a cautionary tale and an open diary – Davis never loses sight that the Lord is her savior.

Davis, who is from Kansas City, Missouri, has taken the global music world by storm. In just over two years she’s already amassed a considerable catalog, as well as notched a No. 5 hit with “Darkest Hour” on the Euro Indie Chart. Davis, whose real name is Rebecca, has a stoicism to her flow-style. It’s not that she’s cemented, it’s that what you see is what you get with her. She’s not 20 and will say so in her songs. “No More”, with the luxury of having lived a life and married someone a few decades older than she, is full of her often offbeat humor and brash truths.

Once again she teams up with vocalist Chago Williams. The two are becoming quite the pair. This is the latest in a string of songs with the Long Beach, California-based Williams. Davis and Williams worked on “Darkest Hour”. It’s becoming a habit, and the two really make alchemy happen together. He previously rapped in “Darkest Hour” and in “No More” his instrumentation is his amazing singing. The guy can really belt it out.
Also, putting in another victory lap is guitarist Romain Duchein. Duchein previously worked with DawgGone Davis on “Baby I Have Words” (2019) and “Judge Not Rap Yes” (2020). His guitar work is stunning and elevates the sound to an even brighter, rock-centric emotional experience. While Davis and Williams are doing their hip-hop/spoken word/ soul thing, Duchein is laying a solid rock foundation with his sweltering guitar licks. On drums is Jack T. Perry. He helms a sound that is also more in the rock realm, but he creeps in-and-out of the space with fierceness and high cymbals. Orchestrating and producing this all is long-time Davis producer, The Wolfman (Helmut Wolf).
Some of my favorite lines from “No More” include I’m outta that marriage in a speedy ‘ol carriage, Davis raps, opening into no more horsin’ around, Jesus is Lord, don’t cut the cord, I’m a big zero, He’s the real hero. I think this illustrates both herself depreciation, and the fun banter that colors her songs. It also shows her faith, and that is quite admirable. She has a great sense of humor about things, and still, there’s a slight sadness in the song that can’t be denied. When Williams sings the chorus (no more) he sings from a place in his own heart that feels hurt, betrayed. There are surprisingly many dynamics happening at once in “No More”. DawgGone Davis gone and done it again – “No More” is fantastic.
