Bringing you another exciting project today from the South West based label Greasy Vinyl, home to a collection of dope emcees reigning from the city of Plymouth. Today we're bringing you the latest project from Jman, one forth of the notorious GV Clik collective, the projects a 10 track EP and is titled Free Dank and it's exactly that, a free dosage of isolator to the dome as you bob and weave through Jmans never ending list of styles, flows and genres he conquers with ease. We're going to delve head first into this with a full length review so grab that grade, kick back and relax to Free Dank.
Opening up with the first track titled Babylon Fall along with an official video which dropped a few weeks back to begin the hype! You can prepare yourself for a healthy dosage of reggae vibes to the dome, food for thought rhymes, laced over the oozing potent production by Blazenstien! This track is best enjoyed with a dutchie so hopefully you've rolled one now, if not sort it out and hit play!
City Rose is the second track on the project and is the first of two productions by Muttley steps, creating an anomalous platform for Jman to light up with grime induced rhymes and delivery, supported by the filthy baselines and thought provocative Jman hits us with, no matter the genre! By now you'll be a little waved from the zoot you bunned earlier which leads us to On A Wave, listen as Jman displays an incredible amount of skill as he laces a cold flow and assortment of rhymes over an eerie but highly inviting beat! This track is one of the many examples of how versatile Jman is with his music but let's continue to the next example. One Lickle Yout was the first track/official video to drop 7 months ago which furthered our oppinion that Jman is up there in our top 10, conquering the the highly tranquil production by Simiah who's chemistry with Jman is flawless. Watch as Jman effortlessly engulfs the beat with multiple languages in his signature style. If you have't clocked this yet your on a mad one!
J 2 Da Who? coming in as the shortest track on the project, spanning only a minute and a half but when you have Illinformed on the beat and J on the bars, magic happens. Despite being the shortest track expect it to pack a punch throughout as Jman slows his flow and distorts his voice. Affiliated is the third track to drop accompanied by an official video, produced by Reklews and filmed in Lithuania by powerhouse known as Sektion Red! Already sounds promising eh? Embark on a Journey with this one as Jman as he continues to impress with his intricate rhyme style and a boat load of flows, this man literally has the whole deck of cards up his sleeve! Peep the visuals by Sektion Red below!
Landing on Gifted you can expect to hear nothing but progressive and uplifting vibes, from the chakra illuminating production to the barrage of rhymes Jman brings on this short track! Expect to hear about what drives Jmans existence, positivity, being creative and building with each other! Strategy creeps into your eardrums as the beat slowly builds the atmosphere, soon you'll be in a dream like state and then Jman emerges with a barfest on a grime tip, expect him to break the sound barrier smashing the beat and any expectations you had into pieces.
Bionic Rebel is the second to last track on this monumental release from Jman and each track you'll experience another unique side to his music. Bionic Rebel is no different with Shire Roots on the production, bringing clapping drums and eerie undertones as Jman rises with his Mechanical jaw showcasing more bars of pure excellence. Curse For Me produced by Alibi might be Jmans most experimental track to date, going straight in on a jungle expedition supplying nothing but neck snappin, drug infused, brain rattling GOODNESS! Before we begin to fade out review out, peep this ish yourself by hitting play on the bandcamp plugin below!
