Most of the music that gets released in this day and age on a global scale normally takes years of hard work and dedication to the craft. Just Listen is no different, in fact when you listen to his album you realise that he is one of those artists that was meant to have appeared on the scene a long time ago but he took his time. and excercised patience. The tracks on this album are not just heartfelt they are observations and opinions based on the reality we live in and the various choices we make as travel along the journey called life. Music like this is very rare now and should be treasured, most of what we find on the mainstream is either poisonous or pointless . Either way its not as constructive as what I have found in Patience is my only virtue,
The album has taken the best part of a year to
record and produce. The production of Sonov Bedrock is evident as the music
seems to have a voice of it's own. Just Listen's lyrical ability leaves most
people mistified as he has a message with every bar he graces the microphone
with. For underground hip hop this album proves to be a formidable force to
give even mainstream artists something to worry about. Personally I think the
world is just about ready to hear a British MC with such flavour. My favourite
tune on the album has to be "My 1st Love" Its a rhyme about the game
of basket ball, I feel I can relate to the song because of the love I have for the game and the places Just
Listen mentions since I have played basket ball at some of the venues. This
album also ushers in the arrival of "Them Ones" as seen on
"guidance/subtance abuse" Like the avengers they are all great at
what they do as individuals and just as great when they get together. I will go
into further depth when they relaes their album. Another song that really made
me feel something has to be "Sarah's song" a song about his love that
he lost, very emotional to say the very least. The best way for you to
understand what kind of sentiment I experienced is to listen to the song
yourself. Just Listen gives us an insight into how he used to create his music
in "Drink smoke write spit" and once again he goes in!! Other songs
on the album are too good for words I mean I couild try and describe what I
hear and how I feel about the music I heard on the album but I fear that I may
not be accurate since everyone has their own oppinion. I showed "darker
planet" to a friend via facebook and she loved it, I wouldn't be surprised
if it is now on her play list for when she is working out in the gym because of
the production and the tempo Just Listen is working with. This album is
definitley a must if you love your hip hop and you appreciate music with a real
message. patience is my only virtue is available on Here
