Jobo - "Warning Bite" [prod. Jack Bonneau] (Video)


It's been nearly three years since Jobo released solo content, having spent the better part of 2016 and 2017 working amongst the many faces that made up UZOO and then taking 2018 to step back from the public spotlight.

But, just like that, the Maharaja is back.

With his latest release, the CT-based artist offers a glimpse of "Warning Bite", which will be found in full upon the release of his forthcoming Bear God EP II. In the preview, Jobo utilizes a dark visual - shot by Joey Batts - to give a sense that while the Bear God has been hibernating, he has awoken from his slumber.

Featuring flashy lights and a Triple H-inspired sledgehammer, the short clip is highlighted by Jobo's quick witted and apathetically arrogant bars. As listeners have come to expect and appreciate, there is an entertaining aura of ego and an overwhelming self-love that is easy to get behind and support. It's almost as if one can't help but buy into every claim made by Jobo because he sells it with such passion and avidity.

"Warning Bite" is chalk full of punchlines but, thanks in no small part to Jobo's top-shelf pen game, the record never feels overly saturated or corny. With a delivery that knocks like a Stone Cold mudhole stomping, it's a wonder that everything being addressed is able to flow together so smoothly...but it does. Every single quip in every single bar fits to perfection and at no point is one left feeling like they're listening to wasted space or unnecessary filler content.

Backed by the Jack Bonneau-produced instrumental, all aspects of Jobo's "Warning Bite" snippet work together to create a fun, captivating and cliff-hanger-esque experience that will leave you wanting not only the rest of the track but the full EP.

Throw it up one time for the kliq. #toosweet

Raz Simone - "Clout" [prod. Anthony Danza] (Video)

Fresh off the heels of another trip around the sun, Raz Simone comes through with his first visuals of 2018. In typical Raz fashion, the Black Umbrella founder holds nothing back on "Clout", addressing a myriad of subject matter with a confidently calm yet simultaneously aggressive delivery. Simone has always been one of my favorite artists to cover, thanks in large part to the layered presentation of his content. With "Clout", an essay could be composed on both the track itself and the accompanying video - while both seem almost overly simple upon first glance/listen, the song and video cover a lot of ground over the course of five and a half minutes. The visuals are split between two backdrops - Raz being "studied" in a research facility and Raz rapping in the street. The vibe of the production on "Clout" syncs up perfectly with the dreary, simple visual of Simone in the rainy streets...appropriately carrying a black umbrella. It's...

Raz Simone - "Jose" (feat. Anthony Danza) [prod. Paul Judge] (Video)

If the last couple weeks are any indication, it would appear safe to presume the Black Umbrella family is ready to unleash an onslaught of content upon the masses this year. It became evidently more clear when, after dropping the cinematic " Clout ", Raz Simone returned with two new videos in just about as many days.  The first release came in the form of the Paul Judge-produced "Jose", a plug-feuled anthem accompanied by another Jacob Hill-shot visual experience. Filmed on location in Guadalajara, Mexico, "Jose" showcases Simone and Anthony Danza laying their fiery verses in all the places most tourists would be unable to visit. Apparently, someone in Black Umbrella knows the plug... "To by my friend, I should make you have a wavier signed, 'Cause anytime I'm out, it could be danger, danger time" In the heart and soul of cartel country, Simone uses the video to once again reveal and put on display just how "rea...

Abiyah - "Champion Plaque" (feat. Ceschi) [prod. Possible Address]

Some artists are adept at creating music that blends genres, the resulting product sounding unique in its own right. Others, like Abiyah and Ceschi , transcend past the mere blending of styles to offer up sonic manifestations that manage to  defy any sort of genre all together. Despite countless journalistic attempts to compartmentalize via labels, the music stands on its own foundation, blasting through the speakers free of any label or definitive denomination. This genre-less creative approach is strikingly evident with the Cincinnati-based artist's "Champion Plaque", a new single featuring Ceschi that was first imagined in 2015. The free-flowing delivery of vivid, picturesque storytelling from both artists acknowledges the saturation of inauthentic people permeating our daily lives. Abundant in subject matter that is relatable while also forcing listeners to take an uncomfortable look in the mirror, "Champion Plaque" is a call to action, tearing away at...
