Flint, Michigan emcee/producer Jon Connor switching issues up for this month’s entry in The Artist Yahn Freeman sequence. Somebody who’s steadily been holding it down for the final 2 many years together with The Calling, Vinnie Chase & S.O.S. trilogies together with the Finest within the World sequence paying homage to a few of Jon’s influences, Salvation, Whereas You Had been Sleeping & Unconscious State. He was even signed to Aftermath Leisure for six years earlier than departing after Automobile Metropolis wound up being shelved, coming off Meals for the Soul & 24 produced by KLC of the No Restrict Data in-house manufacturing group Beats by the Pound to have iRockSays produce this guest-heavy installment.
“Excessive Key” begins with a entice intro speaking about hoes needing a streamer to inform them precisely what their mom & grandfather have been saying since their youth whereas “I Get’s Down” discusses being born in a system the place they’re making an attempt to fuck everybody over. Courtney Bell seems so he & Jon can take issues again to “The Essence” over a soulful beat main into Freeway becoming a member of to speak about each of them solely having their balls & “My Phrase”.
Kicking off the 2nd half, “Keep Up” has a extra motivational tone to the lyrics explaining that you simply’re all the time gonna lose pretending to be somebody you’re not whereas “Glory” talks about the whole lot being okay so long as he by no means quits. “Held Excessive” that includes X-Raided unites each artist over one other increase bap instrumental refusing to lose focus & fearing no person whereas “On the Prime” ends The Artist Yahn Freeman V encouraging everybody listening to benefit from the journey.
This entire saga has been divisively obtained by followers generally though I personally would inform you that final month’s chapter nonetheless has the strongest engineering in comparison with the remainder, however I didn’t get the identical enjoyment out of The Artist Yahn Freeman V in comparison with it’s predecessors produced by Smitti Boi. I commend him for bringing a brand new producer & extra options on board, even when the quantity of options are too many.
