Review
Highlights
Comical Throughout The Whole Short
From someone interrupting their set to doing everything possible to get a clean drug test, DDm is hilarious. But, you have to also give credit to Young since that right there? That is the type of actor who seems down for the joke as long as it is funny, and those two together? Oh, they are the comic duo you didn’t know you needed.
On The Fence
Can’t Remember None Of The Raps
With that said, I can’t remember a single rap lyric. I know there were moments dedicated to them, and they are spread throughout the short but, you don’t get that one hook that makes you want to find DDm on YouTube or IG for their rapping. More so, you want more of them being a comedic actor.
Overall
Our Rating: Mixed (Divisive)
While hilarious, you can see that the comedy is meant to be the hook while the raps are what you really pay attention to. Sadly, that doesn’t take place, but at the very least, DDm definitely has a career being a comic actor.
