Sounds Like
Hip Hop dropped in the middle of an African jungle stripped of the money, ice, cars, runway models and celebrity. Forced to survive among the natives and learn about where music really comes from. What's it sound like to you?
I wanna welcome you to my musical experiment. It's called the StraightJacket, because in life at some point or another we all need to put on a straightjacket of some sort to restrain us from snappin' at the constant bullshit that we gotta deal with at home, at work, in our neighborhoods and even on the stages and studios that we bless with our talents. Once we've regained our senses and are released from the confines of our straightjackets, (or drug, alcohol, jail, religion, etc.) we can return to the world and share the beautiful insites of what we gained during our confinement, OR, we can go back to snappin' at the bullshit that we deal with everyday. On this album, I chose to do both. And if you ain't feelin it, you probablly need a StraightJacket.
If ya feeling the vibes so far please let me know. The rest of the album is just as diverse, cool, different and straight up just JahQues. None of the same ol' same ol' monotony that is coming out of today's stalemate Hip Hop industry. In order to resurrect Hip Hop and music as a whole we gotta expand our creative talents to levels that surpass what people have come to accept as Hip Hop and Black music. We gotta be the catalyst for real change in music, culture, and society. If we do this, we can change the World.
