Jobo - 'BearGod EP II' (Stream)


After releasing a couple visuals featuring previews of two tracks late last year, Jobo has liberated his BearGod EP II. The 5-track EP, which clocks in at around 15 minutes, includes the full versions of "Last Gods" and "Warning Bite", as well as three brand new records.

With his last project dropping nearly three years ago, BearGod EP II not only marks the return of Jobo's solo content but also showcases the growth in the Hartford-based artist's pen game. Although he's always shown up with quick-witted lyricism, the latest effort is highlighted with razor-edged quips and pop-culture heavy punchlines.

It can certainly be argued that the nonchalant nature of Jobo's release, and his in-and-out of the spotlight demeanor, may work against him. However, rather than hype up a project and bombard people with an abundance of music, Jobo has always made the calculated effort to allow the music to speak for itself. BearGod EP II, like the majority of his projects, is short and #toosweet, managing to capture the listener's ear while not risking losing their attention.

Executive produced by RUDY, the new project features dark, gritty production that couples nicely with Jobo's assertive, confident delivery. As noted in previous posts, Jobo loves himself some Jobo and he's not afraid to sing his own praises. Regardless, the credence and conviction present throughout his work dances hand-in-hand with the braggadocios content, making every bar hit with a distinguished aura of authenticity.

BearGod EP II is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify.

Preview the EP below.

Rudy - No Time

God willing, each and every person birthed into this world will grow up. Some of us may reach an old age, some of us may be called home earlier than others - but, in some form or fashion, we all will grow older.  It's a funny thing, the way our society perceives age. In some cultures, the elders are held to the highest esteem - for they are the ones with the knowledge and experience to hold true wisdom. While many in our society praise youth and the physical beauty associated with being young, it is only through the experience of living life that one learns about the world, and in turn, has the capability to learn about their own being. And still, we tend to look down upon those who have been blessed to experience a long, full life. Perhaps it's because so many "old" people seem to live a life of regret, looking back on their youth with a mind full of "what ifs" and "should haves". While young individuals are rushing to reach maturity,

Watch Now: Aaron Cohen & Eklips in Paris (Video)

While in Paris - which appears to be one of his homes away from home at this point - Aaron Cohen bumped into Eklips outside a train station. With cameras rolling, the renowned beatboxer proceeded to drop Dipset's " Oh Boy " instrumental as Cohen does what he does best, lacing the France-based musician's rendition of the track with characteristically self-confident quotables.  Check out the off the cuff collaboration below and be on the lookout for Cohen's upcoming RED NEW YORK project. 

Raz Simone - "Your Hands" [prod. Antwon Vinson] (Video)

Often times in life, the hardest lessons to learn are the ones that lead to the greatest amount of personal growth and expansion. And, of course, it's always best to learn first hand, through experience, rather than through second hand story telling. Let's be honest, someone can drop knowledge on you time and time again but we, as humans, have a tendency to ignore that wisdom unless the Universe hits us with some personal experience.  Regardless, on "Your Hands", Raz Simone takes it upon himself to share his experience with anyone willing to listen - not necessarily to benefit the listener, but to put into perspective his D.T.A. ( don't trust anyone)  mentality.  Shortly after the release of "Your Hands", Raz tweeted the following:  "I genuinely don't expect a thing from another person but betrayal. I still keep hope and love for everyone tho. More and more from afar." While this may come across as a negative, pessimis
