Smart, sharp, comical and clearly authentic bars take things back to the bare essentials – a heavy bass and beat combo depicting an equally retro influence. Lil Jaundice keeps things genuine and raw, with the relentless wordplay and fuzzy late-night recording capture of Chase Of The Year.
Creatively impressive, with more than a few clever gems to pick up on as you follow the lyrics, Chase Of The Year presents a nostalgically hazy mix, this simple hi-hat rhythm and bold bassline met with just a few subtle production traits.
The performance is the beating heart of the arrangement, but the music also lets you settle back into a simpler and notably grittier rap era. Lil Jaundice holds nothing back, the track proving both scornful and self-confident, balancing lashings of wordplay and references with a more scathing underlying intention and story, and that approach suits this home-made authenticity perfectly well.
In the face of streaming platforms willingly supporting AI-generated rappers, singers and producers, this kind of purity is more valued than ever, and the performative flair, the energy, and the sharp rhyme scheme and ideas, all helps introduce Lil Jaundice with a clear sense of realism and playful freedom.
