#Rejex album full

In fact, the lack of hard tracks makes it really feel like the albums by Wu-Tang and MF Doom that he adores. He doesn’t have any harder tracks like those that were on 1999, but the tape still works. Joey Bada$$ retains his solid flow, which on this tape is calm without being boring, and intricate without sounding overly ostentatious. The samples express the stories of the songs to a greater degree without overwhelming them. The Ol Dirty Bastard sample on DSL works great as well. on Oh, Deer, they accent the songs of the album without overshadowing the songs. There’s more recognizable speaking-samples throughout the album, whether it’s Obi-Wan Kenobi on both Fantom and Silent Night, or comedian Louis C.K. This album has a few sonic differences from 1999, and they work fine here. Since the production is done by top notch, golden era producers, most of them are fantastic (Save the very cheap, fake sounding Silent Night, Little Racheland somewhat out-of-place Update)

#Rejex album full

Unlike other mixtapes full of other people’s beats (Such as Lil Wayne’s pretty-bad Dedication 4 earlier this week), Joey takes the beats and makes them his own. Beats from Madlib and MF Doom have old school, funky feels to them, and Joey Bada$$’s style, which is decidedly “retro”, goes over this production fantastically. And it’s made of throw away material! Like 1999, here he raps over beats from the 90s era of Hip-Hop that he emulates, rather than using his own production. Rejex kind of acts as leftovers, as these are all tracks that Joey decided to omit from 1999. Since that is the situation with this tape, it only goes to show how talented Joey is because this mixtape, while not as great as 1999, is very solid. Thursday, Joey Bada$$ dropped another mixtape this year, called Rejex. Then he dropped his debut mixtape, 1999, which is easily one of the best mixtapes released so far this year. First he dropped the video and song Survival Tactics, which is a pretty aggressive, ominous track. His refreshing style, which revitalizes that late 90s Hip-Hop from the Wu-Tang era, has captured the Hip-Hop community by storm. Joey Bada$$ has had quite the 2012 so far.
