(JAZZYNOMICS)

It was only last week I covered the latest album featuring this man, and yet he returns as consistent as ever. Whether it be from near-perfect wrestling-themed albums like ‘Jazzy Fatu’ or interesting and unique beat tape series such as ‘The Price Of A Sample 8’, not even including the other fucking 27 albums he’s dropped this year alone! He’s easily one of the most consistent and frequent artists right now, and to no one’s surprise, he’s back! So let’s talk about it.

This is the latest collaboration project between producer JazzyLionMan and MC Gustavo Louis, and together they dropped another 6-track, 15-minute project for the addicted fanbase to soak right up and inject into their veins!

Let me start by saying that I love that intro. I know it’s from the movie ‘Sisters’, where John Cena plays a drug dealer with every substance known to man. I love it because he’s a heel now, so it definitely fits! But besides that, this project definitely gives off a strong skeletal, dark ambient, and noise-inspired album that utilises the gritty, raw, bare-boned instrumentation to create a vibe that’s like a sonic abyss forever trapped in the darkness and the mystic of nothingness.

There are no real theatrical influences or samples, no larger-than-life production or execution on this one. What I’m feeling most is that bare minimum, minimalistic approach to the beats. Using the iconic ‘Less is more’ technique, we have Jazzy emphasise on crushing/hypnotic loops with methodically paced piano keys and the occasional plucked strings with the most primal of hip-hop beat patterns to tie it all together. 

I suppose with this madman’s frequency of release, you’re bound to get releases of this nature, and I mean, why not utilise it! At his rate of dropping, he can’t be expected to drop a ‘Jazzy Fatu’ equivalent so quickly, so why not give the fans a nice teaser snack until the release of a more substantial main course? That’s the way I see it, and I’m sure his core audience will eat this up regardless. 

To his frequent collaborator, Gustavo. He runs through Jazzy’s production better than anyone. Whether it’s primitive and minimal or cinematic and luscious, this man knows exactly how and when to drop the best bars possible for the occasion.

You can tell the level of expert chemistry they share with one another from producer to artist; they feed off each other’s talents and skills in order to deliver the most successful ‘beat to verse’ execution you can expect!

Fluent flows, sharp wordplay, and delivery. Expert lyricism and short, bursting, flavoured verses across the 1-2 minute tracks provided. Perfect for today’s climate of attention spans and short enough to capture the audience at peak focus without it ever feeling like they are overstaying their welcome on the tracks.

He’s passionate, confident, enthusiastic, and in-depth with his bars and knows how to navigate the beats to find the perfect place and timing for each word. This isn’t his first song and dance with Jazzy, and his experience shows. He ain’t here as a shook amateur but as a veteran showcasing his abilities and antics to the world!

For such a small project, this thing has many layers and details that will keep any die-hard or new fan entertained! Not a bad song to be found. Don’t forget to check the latest instalment by the duo! 

Shoutout to ANGELO JENSEN for his contributions on the record as well!
