In an era dominated by trends and algorithms, Per DM is focused on storytelling.
His new project The Collar City Blues draws heavily from his upbringing in Troy’s Griswold Heights, while reflecting the perspective of an artist now living in Buffalo.
The album’s most powerful moment arrives on “Trenches,” where Per DM examines the impact of spending years in the projects.
Meanwhile “Dealing Calendars” offers commentary on the everyday hustle economy surrounding him growing up.
Together with songs like “Livin in the Ghetto” and “See the Top,” the project forms a layered narrative about environment and ambition.
