[Music Video + MP3] Jai Nitai Lotus – Honest (Numbers on the Board)

By Ian ⋅ June 25, 2014 ⋅ 37 comments

<a href="http://jainitailotus.bandcamp.com/track/honest">HONEST by Jai Nitai Lotus</a>

Long time readers know I was a big fan of Jai Nitai Lotus‘ Something You Feel album and went as far as endorsing it on the Polaris Music Prize website. Here’s a new track by him. Peep the official PR blur:

Montreal-based MC/Producer Jai Nitai Lotus (pronounced Jhai like Thai, Nee-tie) is back after releasing his highly acclaimed LP Something You Feel, to bring forth his new mixtape project titled Acknowledgement. The title is inspired by the opening song on the legendary John Coltrane album, A Love Supreme. For Jai Nitai, it’s about acknowledging the original source of creation: the Creator, as well as artists he draws inspiration from. Jai reworks an impressive variety of productions from artists such as Haitus Kaiyote, Kanye West, Thunder Cat, Madlib, as well as includes his own originals.

On this first video single and opening track “Honest”, Jai embraces Pusha T‘s “Numbers on the Boards” by keeping Pusha T’s possessed-like aggression, but flips the intention of the lyrics: “I see flaws, blood on your diamonds, see these wars that’s relyin’ on your minin’.”

Jai Nitai will be releasing the Acknowledgement mixtape in collaboration with Dudley Perkins & Georgia Anne Muldrow‘s label, Somothaship Connect.

[MP3] Spek Won, Dey, Leisha Cameron, Adria Kain, Boko Maru – LOST ANGELZ

Cool out time! Spek and crew interpolating Anita Baker‘s “Angel” for this neo-soulish slow burner. “Angel” is from Baker’s debut album, The Songstress, not the follow-up smash album, Rapture whose cover is jacked for the artwork to this single (well, kind of. Actually, it’s an image from single artwork for the title track, “Caught Up in the Rapture” from that album).
