Whats going on my good peoples! I hope your endeavors have been successful and completely blessed in this past week. I come to you again this week with a new featured independent artist. This weeks artist was brought to my attention by one of our past feature artists Mr. Dejon Bivens of ATWL Internet Radio station. So of course being the connoisseur of music I am, i had to check him out. I was most definitely interested after hearing the first track titled "Montage", but i was drawn in by his unmistakable story teller style of presentation in the tracks that followed. If you know me, you know i'm not big into the Rap scene, primarily because i don't like commercial blah blah blah. But Mr. Waters is far beyond commercial, it was hard to take the earphones off after i pressed play. I have to give it to the guy, he had my head bobbing to his flow, and thats a Jugo Azul stamp of approval for those of you who don't know.
As read on his ReverbNation profile: Artist / Producer Josh waters was Born in Jamaica ,Queens which birthed his unique style of performing and production. Influenced heavily by Nas and Rakim, Josh was taken under his wing by local record label Murder Inc. as a young kid at the age of 14. When Josh turned 17 he moved to Charlotte NC where he developed a unique fusion of old school hip - hop and and the new synthesized sound which is his trademark. Not only is he a great producer inside of the studio, but in the Spring of 2011 he started performing the beats live at parties, bars and clubs to rock the crowd. Currently a member of Charlotte based indie label Gone Ape Music/Clothing which is taking the city by storm! Hardcore lyrics, great beats and plenty of showmanship. Josh will tell you himself " I just want us "Gone ape music" to be like the Rat Pack of Hip Hop"
As i have been typing this blog i have been listening to Mr. Waters page again, head bobbing just like before. This guy is undeniably already deemed and destined for greatness amongst the world of Hip-Hop. He is the opposite of all the current over rated and over paid "Hype Rappers" out right now "rapping" about the number of chains around their necks and how much of a boss they are. I could really go on and start bombing on some of these "commercialists" but I'll leave them alone. I just hope they don't think it will last for ever...Blah Blah Blah HYFR...
My favorite tracks of Josh Waters so far are:
-Its A Race (A real talk type of track)
-Glass Full of Crown (BEAT IS BEYOND SICK)
-Charlie Brown Cypher (Great Presentation &
Performance)
-Change Your Mind (Great presentation & Beat)
