This album moves from good to great the further you get into it – this latter half increases your belief in that significantly. The second time you listen to these songs they hit with a whole new level of impact.

Jay Jai is using his voice and his creative professionalism to say things worth listening to, and he’s doing it in a stylish yet genuine way.
Nevermind pours just a few seemingly simple elements into a deep cavern of creativity, and the result is this quickly uplifting, energetic song, and yet another unexpected hit.
I am scared to death of live performances, and I don’t do it that much. Recording process depends on the people I am working with. If you connect as an artist to your producer, the process is easy.
The rhythm has something awakening about it, though the leading voice and the synth choices, even the harmonies, all add a contrasting level of lightness and softness.
The effects, the beat, and the overall set-up and structure of the piece meander off on their own creatively free pathway; giving the single a fresh and uninhibited aura.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work with the most incredible team of people & something they always say is how important & admirable it is to stay true to yourself in an industry like the music world is today.
A track showcasing a distinctly self-aware monologue – one that delves deep into the mind of the artist & the world around him. One of the year’s most conscious or interesting rap releases this side of the Atlantic.
It’s a song you can’t help but vibe to, and it’s not overly joyful nor depressingly melancholy in being that – it walks the line somewhere in between; making it the perfect choice for any number of situations.
The instrumentation is fairly manic, but Champ’s vocal delivery in contrast has a certain calmness about it – an easy going aura pours through from his performance, reinforcing those positive vibes.
This fleeting wave of high energy & the way the song screams on your behalf makes for the ultimate moment of escapism. The desire to disappear or get lost is well represented & well catered to within the track.
At only four tracks long there isn’t a great deal of time to express themselves within or to make an impact, but somehow they’ve managed both to an impressive degree. It all feels very natural & that lets it connect & entrance its audience.
