Review :
Lilongwe, Malawi rhymesayer Jabs has come to bring listeners his latest and first street release, 'Foreplay (My journey through time)" The project, which the artist has dubbed his manifesto, an autobiographical glimpse of the man behind the pen which it packs 15 original tracks from him, among them yet to be released as singles include “Feels good featuring Bionix and Fundo produced by Teddy P,”Smile for hiphop produced by T.Stone, “Walk Of LL” produced by Teddy P and Club Yatentha featuring Zeze produced by Pro. The project rips right into Jabs’ always beautiful flow and great wordplay matched perfectly with production from Divine Sense/JustusBeatz, RJD, Teddy P, Pro and T.Stone throughout. This project is an exquisite mix of old Skul and contemporary beats that will take you to the ups and downs, juggles that never gave him a deathblow but rather gave him twice his hunger, hence the victories. So when he says ‘Just another classic in a verbatim magic/Bound to make you stand between the bullet and the target/I’m tired of your topic so faggot you beta drop it/lemme tell you why I’m pyscho,poetic and an addict” on the Intro,you know the race is on. The beauty on this project is the emotional range on it. He expresses his passion for Hip-hop when he says “The wackness! No, I can’t take it like a death pill/this is a transition beyond translation/ it is a transfiguration to this generation” in Smile for Hip-hop’s, Heads, you know what this is about. Lovers also got something to groove on to with Feels good, a song done with such class and skill by Jabs featuring two great soulful voices Bionix and Fundo that make the song even more attractive to listen to and enjoy. You know it’s real when Jabs says “Hearts racing with love and not infatuation/ you got me lost in thought gimme back direction” before the chorus kicks in. Find out how Jabs describes the city that birthed and raised him on a Teddy P production featuring Slim with AK onthe Board. This track showcases great lyrical complexity in rhyme form by both these two talented Emcees’ to show what LL is made of. Then you have the part that saturates with sorrow but also denotes hope in the songs “Alone, Be strong and Another moment lost” where he describes trials and tribulation in life that shouldn’t knock us out but rather we come around stronger in readiness to face more challenging situations in the future. He makes references to his life and the reasons he came back harder and stronger. Jabs also injects his pain on a Divine sense track about the loss of his source of strength, his queen, whom he saw buried a few years back and how it has impacted his life with his renewed sense of how it transformed him upon meditating his on his lifestyle and in the end the song speaks life than death .Enjoy how Divine Sense cuts in Florence and Machine to produce a heartfelt emotion blending in with the ambience of the song. Finally, Jabs goes political in the quest for love and unity among the people in his country, Malawi, and the rest of the world in the songs “One, One day and In my eyes.” He describes how the world is today and describes his thoughts of a new day all this on Divine Sense Masterpieces. These are some of the songs from the heavy loaded and assorted 15 track project which Jabs is ready to put out for test times. Something the streets should be anticipating. On the boards include Divine Sense, BfB and AK onthe Boards so far. First to be released is ‘Feels good,” and find out more detail on his page https://www.facebook.com/#!/jabsmuzik .Keep your ears to streets. PEACE!!!
