Jamo Gang: “All Eyes On Us”

by Leave a Comment

I’m a huge fan of J57, I truthfully believe he’s one of the more underrated artists of our time but that’s for another article. Right now I have now music from the Brown Bag All-Stars artist. Last year J57 teamed up with Ras Kass & El Gant to make the group Jamo Gang, today I have the first single from their upcoming project.

Ahead of the release of Jamo Gang’s self-titled EP, the group (MCs El Gant and Ras Kass and producer J57) have shared the first leak from the project; which was premiered the other day by HipHopDX. Entitled “All Eyes On Us,” the track comes with an explosive feature from Brown Bag All-Stars’ DeeJay Element.

The Jamo Gang EP is expected to arrive on 1-30-18 and comes with a bonus track from DJ Premier who originally co-signed the East Coast trio.

Album Review: J57 – Wax Aesthetic EP

by Leave a Comment

classicmaterial2 copy

J57, for those who are unfamiliar, is a member of Brown Bag AllStars, an eight-man New York based crew that have trudged through the sometimes murky world of underground Hip-Hop for a number of years now, dropping quality mixtapes, solo projects and collaborative LPs and EPs. The Long Island native producer, who recently provided the entire musical backdrop for Blame One’s latest release, Walk In The Sun, flexes his newly-sharpened rhyme aesthetics on the aptly titled, Wax Aesthetic.

J57 sums the lean, five-track EP as well as himself up perfectly on “DETLANY” when he raps, “I’m like War Report meets Thom Yorke. Mike Dean meets Björk.” At the blink of an eye, Wax Aesthetic goes from all things boom-bap (mainly on “Element 4 President” produced by fellow BBAS member, Deejay Element and the lead single, “Been a Long Time” produced by West Coast MPC wizard, Exile) to a sparsely, eclectic outro and a spacey, electronica-tinged hidden instrumental positioned as a precursor to the boundaries J57 plans to push in his future work. And judging from Wax Aesthetic, his future work will continue to grab attention and challenge listeners’ aural sensibilities.

New Post: J57 “Requiem for Ports” (Instrumental)

I’ll let J57 talk about this joint. Peep game below.

“One of my best friends for most of my life, Ports, passed away a year and a half ago.  He’s the one that put me on to my favorite hiphop artists/influences, taught me how to rhyme, and also taught me that you “only get one first impression.”

Today would have been his 30th birthday and I (along with his mother, sisters and our close friends) decided instead of focusing on the negative, we’re going to celebrate his life each birthday – as he would definitely have wanted.

This instrumental track is dedicated to Bryan “Ports” Coyle.”

Allen Poe – Know What I’ve Got (ft. J57) [Prod by J57]

by Leave a Comment

allen-poe-knowwhativegot

Allen Poe (1/3 of Frankfort KY’s Basement Up) started out recording by overdubbing tapes in his bedroom in the mid 90s. Since then writing and rhyming have gone from hobby to passion for Poe. His music offers perspective and reflection from his own unique experiences as a son, husband, father, student, veteran and poet.

The 3rd single off the upcoming album “Pocket Full Of Ohms”, is a current look at and reflection of Allen Poe as an artist, his journey, aspirations, tribulations and the cost of his pursuit for the love of being an MC to his personal life. This record is produced by J57.

Nutso’s list is one list you don’t want find yourself on. Find out if the Queens warrior can rest easy knowing that the job was done properly. Behind These Bars is now available.
