Jotsone – Dear New England (Fuck You)
There’s no place like home. I feel safe in assuming we are all familiar with this saying and its connotation. Apparently Jotsone has his own take on the phrase. Once you listen to the track affectionately titled ” New England (Fuck You) ” it is crystal clear what that take is. Its definitely no secret that there is prevalent ” crabs in a barrel ” vibe in the RI / southern MA music scene. Although not the first to address this issue, Jots make dam sure he puts his 2 cents in.
If you’ve been keeping up with Jotsone’s more recent stuff, this is definitely a departure from that. This is straight Hip Hop, pure and simple. With a super smooth / funky instrumental provided By Josh G, it was pretty much Jots’ job not to fuck it up, and he didn’t. Jots is currently working on his album ” Nothing Good” tentatively slated for a summer/fall release.
Being a local artist myself i can feel where he’s comin from. Shit is real. Take a listen to see if you agree with his outlook on the current climate of our scene. Lets us know if you think this scathing critique is a spot on snapshot, or a jaded emcee’s empty rhetoric.
I almost forgot. I could be wrong, but after a few listens I think I noticed some subliminal (or not so) shots being fired at a fellow 401 emcee ???
