JTTG - Jazz

fromtheslums60When it comes to atmosphere in this scene, one rarely has to look past JTTG and his fellow producers from the Temple; the clear attention to detail and mood setting put into almost all of his beats are enough to explain the widespread respect he has garnered from his peers as of late. For whether your tastes stray from the straight ambient Cashmere Cat devotees or over to the more crunk-oriented hip-hop side of the outer boroughs these days, you'd be hard pressed not to find at least a single beat from this kid on any given bass-head's ipod.

Personally, I might consider killing people in order to get access to his and The SHRNK's wide array of formulated pads and sample library. This beat in particular doesn't announce it's arrival in any bombastic way; it glides into existence of waves of metallic vocal cuts and rolling hi-hats and then fades as quickly as it came. Another trill puzzle piece to the ever growing cacophony of sound that is JTTG's lonely journey through the misty hills and lonely mountains of the ancient land known to the few as shaolin.

Think I'm getting way too poetic, huh? Well, how about this; give this track a listen and see if you still think so. Because honestly, when reviewing this kid's work, I'm starting to think you really can't get poetic enough.
