    Jae Himself - Vennom Passion Sociiety [Review]

    July 23, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Lyrics that hooked me early, and a flow that hits hard with the beat, makes this track one that I could not escape from through multiple listens.

    ’Vennom Passion Sociiety’ is the kind of single that leaves you pondering and thinking long after the last beat. ”

      “A self-reflective and honest track that delivers powerful words in a direct style. This is a track that feels like part confession, but they are also words and sentiments that serve us all. Truly Conscious Hip Hop.”

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “Straight up. When you’re talking top shelf — be it liquor or music — you don’t need a bunch of unnecessary stuff tossed into the mix. ‘Ghost’ is the kind of track that proves that with a straight-up beat, and a steady linear flow that hits with truth and passion and an underlying wisdom. All without any fancy embellishments.”

              “Tight songwriting and a steady flow propel this ode to self forward with each beat.

              The melody is lifted up by guitar licks giving this one a mainstream vibe without sacrificing its edge.”

                  “Love, lust, and affairs of the heart are complicated, no matter the genetic makeup of those involved. This is a soulful infused modern rap story about those complications delivered in a stripped down flow by My_Kayla and sung to R&B perfection by Dre Walton.

                  The contrast between the two voices is perfection and adds a level of intrigue to this single.”

                    “I dig the writing and the vocal tone of this track, but I do wish the mix had been tweaked. The backing chant often seems louder than the flow, and for me that was an unnecessary distraction.

                    The message here is tight and meaningful, which is why I wish the vocals were brought forward and featured harder. However, these lyrics are so worth hearing that this track makes my worthwhile list just the same.”

                        “Really dig the jazz opening and the piano is dope throughout. Often autotune makes it tough to stand out as unique, but ‘Money On The Way’ avoids that by changing up the flow with verses that are sang with autotune and a direct rap flow. The writing is sharp and overall this is a solid single worth listening to over and over again.”

                          “Delivering an interesting structure to keeps this track fresh from start to finish, Toronto’s Nanu Aldina raps about his fulfillment as an artist, over the top of hard beats before switching up the flow by singing an extremely intimate chorus.

                          The combination of soft melody and heavy rap flows work well to deliver a set of lyrics you can dig into.”

                                  “Smooth vocals and a hard-charging, energetic beat infuse this single with some funk, but pinning down a genre for ‘Get Over Myself’ is tough.

                                  Bootleg Rascal has given us a track that is all at once ... Indie Rock, Hip-Hop, and Funk. The result is fantastic fun! ”

                                    “Ryan has very smooth vocals and he knows how to deliver at the very exact moment. With dripping yet detailed visuals of how sometimes love can drive you crazy”

                                      “Begins with an almost nursery rhyme like vibe that gives a bit of creep factor before a sick beat drops down with a bold, hardcore flow that hits so fast it take several listens to get the full effect.

                                      ’Awaken’ is a track that stands out among a crowded feel with a unique, yet engaging sound that thumps with a hearty bass line.”

                                        “Old school vibe with a hard driving beat and vocals that turn the back the clock.

                                        This is the kind of track that will get you charged up and ready to take on the world. ”
