That is the eighth mixtape from Buffalo, New York emcee Jae Skeese. Beginning in 2010 off his debut mixtape W.A.C.Okay. (Ladies, Alcohol, Money & Kicks), it wasn’t till a decade later the place he & 7xvethegenius gained huge publicity because the very first signees to Conway the Machine’s very personal EMPIRE Distribution imprint Drumwork Music Group. The Huge Ghost Ltd.-produced third EP Authenticity Verify & the sophomore effort Abolished Uncertainties each elevated Skeese’s reputation within the final couple years. 5 months following the Superior-produced Testomony of the Instances, he’s trying to elevate from Floor Stage.
“Brick After Brick” is a triumphant entice opener produced by Beat Butcha making it clear that he can’t be calm with this shit & the flame can’t be contained whereas “Peter Parker” that includes Malizah offers off a jazzy increase bap vibe because of Statik Selektah speaking about hitting max potential to achieve the next leverage. “Located” that includes Huge Okay.R.I.T. & Sauce Walka connects the trio over extra entice manufacturing to allow them to put within the work to achieve the highest of the mountain, however then “Misplaced Puppets” hooks the kicks & snares reminding that he doesn’t move a sure approach.
Dave East & Jay Worthy be a part of Skeese for the pop rap/entice hybrid “Sara Lee” speaking about eager to hit bitches from behind whereas “EKIN 4” stands as my favourite within the tetralogy from the rugged instrumental that Ski Beatz & MIKE SUMMERS a.ok.a. Seven cook dinner as much as the hungry performances. “Ohana Means Household” radiates a summery entice flare telling his accomplice that she’s the place he will get his muscle from versus being his spine, however then “Glory” retains it entice speaking about repping Buffalo & that Griselda set the expectations.
“Wic Coupons” nears the conclusion of the tape on an atmospheric word making it out of the mud whereas “E4W” reunites F1RSTCLASS returning to the increase bap permitting the duo to make a dedication to those that got here from the bottom up. “02 Yale Cup Champs” that includes Che Noir & Smoke DZA sees all 3 of them for a dusty 5 & a half minute barfest whereas “Fruits of the Labor” that includes Venture Pat ends Floor Stage on some soulful entice shit grinding on a regular basis.
If something, this mixtape is a testomony to Jae Skeese’s evolution as an artist mixing uncooked emotion & storytelling with cutting-edge manufacturing. Moreover, he paints an illustration of the place he’s at present & the highs & lows in his journey which might form & inform the artist chock filled with wordplay. As a fan of 4 years, I’m thrilled that he’s taking the subsequent step from arising out of the basement & constructing on high of the inspiration he’s been constructing ever since being taken underneath Conway’s wing.
