The song of the week, "The Dome," comes from rap newcomer MELLO DRED, whose cassingle comes to us "under the production & direction of Abdullah F. Rufus," presumably the force behind the newly formed House of Abdul Recordings (Rt. 3, Box 318, South Boston, VA 24592). In an articulately rhythmic style mirroring the low-key raps of Q-Tip or Posdnuos, Mello Dread explores the strange relation between head wear, hairstyle, thought processes and identity, ending up with a single that's one big wonderfully long, elaborate and addled mixed metaphor hats off...
