Ostao sam dužan još par albuma iz prve emisije, ćerkicin rođendan i kraj polugodišta su me smlatili pa niš' nisam radio. 

U svakom slučaju, u emisiji se zavrtela pop ya colla sa ovog albuma. Zato što je dobar i jer je Džef klasika imam potrebu da ga podelim. Čini mi se da ga trenutno nema na netu okačenog, zbog toga je pitanje koliko ću i ja držati aploud, pa - izvolite, ne bih čoveku uzimao hleb, ali Srbija i okolina se ne računaju. 

Omot kakav samo rep albumi mogu imati, vredan povremenog gledanja. Svako ko je slušao "džez, hop, soul" će lako naći ovaj album za interesantan, ako se i na prvi isprimao. Muzički puno bogatiji, kako u instrumentalnom delu, tako i sa pjevanjem. Za razliku od albuma iz 1994. sa dosta programiranih bitova, ovo jeste pravo osveženje i mnogo zreliji pristup. To je i moj glavni utisak vezan za album. Priča je zapravo samo primerenija vremenu od priče sa prvog albuma, ali u suštini je nije ni bilo potrebe menjati... nekada duge trake znaju da zamore, ok, dobra je podloga. Poslastica za one koji cene upliv džeza u rep, ali i obrnuto. 

Naleteo sam i na njegov drugi album na netu, takođe ga nije bilo pre, evo linka za blog gde se nalazi (izbrisaću ovaj deo kroz koju nedelju, pa skinite odmah ako ćete slušati).

Clever Jeff - Jazz, Hop, Soul

This album is a classic, no doubt. If you haven't heard it yet, what are you waiting for? Clever Jeff is a San Francisco rapper and producer, he appeared first under the name "Mr. Dong"...



"Jazz, Hop, Soul" is his first album and it's from the 1994. He released the second one ten years later in 2004 and titled it "Street Therapy", it's a solid sophmore album, and there's a video from it for a track "I'm not  gangster"...



For some strange reason there's no more video on web for song "Year of the fly MC", that's the non-album track released in the same year as "Jazz, Hop, Soul". But you can download the single "Year of the fly MC" (instrumental of the track is included, and also Guru's and Clever Jeff's rmx version of the "Catch Rek")

There's also the official video for a song "The City" from "Jazz, Hop, Soul"; it was on youtube for a while but it was taken off due to copyright stuff. I have managed to find only low quality version, you can watch it or download it from mediafire- here.

If I'm thinking about my favourite rap albums Jazz Hop Soul is always first that comes on my mind. Jeff's lyrics are always on point, simple and wise, and his deep flow over jazz influenced programmed beats is making whole album hypnotic. Jeff did the most of the job on this album alone, there's no rap features, and he signs the most of production credits.
