Virgin Islands’ Top-Rated Musical Star Jelani Kendall’s New Album, “Bush Tea” Is Hip-Hop’s Sound Design on Another New Level!

Every time you hear hip hop music you think of heavy modern trap sound or perhaps the old school 90s-inspired sound; – well, think again because there is a new sheriff in town who goes professionally as Jelani Kendall and he is changing the dynamics of the hip hop game with his multi-diverse Caribbean-inspired style that has been elevating him to international acclaim. If you want a trippy and immersive experience, Kendall is your plug, 100%.

There is just something about his latest “Bush Tea” project with virtuosic producer V2J that I fear I lack the words to convey the true depths of such an impeccable distillation of spotless artistry as the one unleashed on this record. Throughout this over 30 minutes and 19 seconds, Jelani just operates like a Mozart; it feels like a reincarnation of MJ at his best!

As his producer V2J always likes to remind him, “we going up fast”, a project like “Bush Tea” is a highlight of the fierce determination and energetic rage with which Kendall is operating as he seeks to leave an indelible print on the music industry.

What Kendall and his able producer V2J serve in “Bush Tea” is 12 tracks boasting intense and instantly recognizable lyricism atop some deft arrangements. Highlighting such refined songwriting proficiency, Kendall brings a brand new light to hip-hop. He’s got that vibrant voice, and his Caribbean-flavored phrasing over the seamlessly designed melodies is simply terrific!

I have been listening to this collection on repeat, and each time it just gets better. For a project that nearly took a year to make, you’ve got to appreciate the time, effort, keen attention to detail and patience to fashion such a timeless piece of magic as this.

“Bush Tea” indeed has all the hallmarks of a viral hit album, especially with the seamless delivery of engaging lyrics over excellent production.

Returning with a crisp, clean, and smooth sound, iTunes-charting hip-hop and rap artist Rich Pesos enriches the airwaves with his sweet-sounding ballad “Don’t Go”

With a professional moniker that is reflective of his opulent talents, Rich Pesos is a certified luminary who has been redefining the very essence of hip-hop and rap with his culturally rich and equally innovative style that tends to both the nostalgic and contemporary worlds. He is much more than just a rapper; he is a storyteller and a true artist at heart who makes music from the deepest elements of his insides, and the end result ends up speaking for itself. His journey thus far has been long and great.

His critical acclaim and recognition have not come overnight; they’ve been the result of a relentless work ethic, hard work, discipline, and sacrifice. And in a world where most are adopting the latest trend and imitating what seems to be popular, Pesos’ originality sets him apart.

After dominating the airwaves with his popularly acclaimed album “Faith Over Faith” which saw him delve deep into his core, Rich Pesos is back again with the enchantingly beautiful, crisp, clean, and smooth ballad “Don’t Go” which was inspired by the very simple yet deep desire to not want to lose the love of your life.

The track’s cornerstone rests on its gentleness and crisp cleanness. Right from the intro, the strikingly gentle guitar melodies set a mellow tone, allowing for the equally crisp, clean, and glossily-nurtured vocals to flourish as the vivid lyrics paint illustrative images in the mind of the listener.

The polished and autumny production sets the ideal scenery for Pesos’ tender vocals as his fresh lyrics and mantra-like, hard-to-forget hooks capture your mind even after the track is no more.

This shift to break away from the vibrant hip-hop tracks to a more subdued, gentler, and lenient production not only mirrors Rich

Pesos’ versatility also injects a never-before-seen depth into his craft, offering listeners a more solid experience.

I mean, who wouldn’t want this? No one? That’s what I thought. How about you check the attached link and let “Don’t Go” be your new favorite drug…excessive consumption of this song is harmless to your health and thus highly recommended!
