First off is Fat Jon's newest release "Repaint Tomorrow". I must say that I was little put off by this release but after a few listens I was impressed. This album goes in a different direction than his other albums but still has that signature Fat Jon sound. The drums are appropriate as with all Fat Jon releases, but his backgrounds are beautiful soundscapes, as usual. "Long Now" will stay stuck in your head for days. Give this record a few spins and tell me what you think of it. Moving on...

Next up is J. Rawls' new record. I have a lot of good things to say about this one. First of all, J. Rawls has kept his hip-hop sound consistent, but is clearly intent on moving in new directions which is something I admire. Miles Davis did it and constantly evolved as an artist. Imagine J. Rawls' mastery with production, with jazz-influenced themes splashed with some hip-hop. I wouldn't call this jazz hip-hop though. I dunno what to call it. There's definitely more jazz influence than hip-hop, but the hip-hop sound is still there. What you get is "The Liquid Crystal Project 2". There's more to this record than just jazz samples over hip-hop inspired drums. J. Rawls toys with different measures and produces some interesting results. If anyone has the list of songs he sampled for this record, please drop it in the comments. Anyways, enjoy the good music, and drop comments as usual. Oh, and get ready to see more posts like this in the future. Enough of this corny-post bullshit.
