“Through this drama, through this pain…”
Heavy old school hip hop with a boldly distinct vocal, riff, and realism – Jhaos brings the calm and the chaos all at once, energizing and inspiring, with the unignorable anthem Keep it Moving III.
Following a dreamy descending synth riff and full-throttle bass and beat combination, Keep It Moving III tips its hat to the dawn of big beat, boom bap and hard-hitting hip hop from a decade or two ago. Jhaos reaches into his soul for the storyline, reflecting with a kind of poetc depth that feels personal but also broadly accessible and relatable.
That balance is key, letting the voice connect and the music consume its audience, so the words feel on point with each listener’s own experiences and feelings.
Producer, songwriter and rapper Jhaos creates original music and mixes out of Forestville, Maryland. His level of experience and skill is second to none in this genre and field, noting a devotion to the process since 88′, and tens of thousands of fans across all streaming and social platforms. His passion never wavers, and that purism and weight resounds throughout Keep It Moving.
Leading with a vocal rasp and gritty sense of passion and power, Jhaos’ voice is unmistakable, and the songwriting here – the looping return to the rhythmic and catchy warmth of the hook – it rings loudly in unison with that clear sense of identity about the performance and vocal tone.
Kicking into gear with an eighties sci-fi-like haunting ambiance, the set-up and intention of Keep It Moving III is undeniable, and Jhaos completes the process with a fairly perfect sense of passionate conviction and a deeply honest, revealing and genuine performance.
“For 40 days & 40 nights,
Going through it,
Seeing folks change,
Like the seasons…”
