After tearing a hole in the mainstream scene with certified releases such as “Being Realistic,” “90’s Love,” and “Out of Pocket Freestyle,” and winning fans and critics alike with his bold, textured style that takes lead from a broad selection of musical influences, Christian rapper and songwriter Nathan Jarrelle proved that his dream of being a top 40 artist isn’t farfetched after all! The industry was put on notice of a conscious rapper whose quality of sound and the impact of his lyrics mattered most to him and his bulging catalog of listeners. Ever since, Nathan has just been polishing his skills, each time coming harder with tracks that ooze charisma, positivity, deep impact, and well-deserved acclaim!
Being one who is very sensitive to his community’s needs, it was only right that he addressed the police brutality and unjust killings that are always visited upon his black community. It is actually sad that after these instances, people make noise for a little while, and things begin to feel like they might change, but they never do. The same script always repeats itself!
In “Know the Boy,” Nathan Jarrelle certainly commands the listener’s attention as he blazes the mic with a cutting-edge level of unbridled authenticity and straight-talking, honest, and raw lyricism about how the black child has been neglected time and time again and nothing is being done right, and if it is; it is a case of too little, too late!
The hooks are memorable and make up an engaging chorus you can sing along to. The beats are heavy, and the message behind the lines is deeply and instantly identifiable. The lines, “Every life matters, but the black ones we can feel,” are very deep!
In essence, “Know the Boy” is a meaningful and agreeable track that needs to be heard by many ears out there.
