"The D.V.S. album, ‘Before I Sing,’ combines beautiful melodies, super fat beats, jazz guitar power, and lush horn harmonies into true, relevant psychedelic trip hop.  The vocal samples are tasteful, emotional and spiritual colors that take the human voice into a melodic fragment world reminiscent of late Miles Davis trumpet work.  The record tells a story from beginning to end, has a musical arc from first track to last track and employs real theme and development within each composition.  Very positive sounds from a unique, new voice in modern music....highly recommended."
