Jigga just raps with ease like he can do it for days (he probably can) and shows that he has still got it. Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee. I am not an experienced vinyl collector but I can surely say that this is one of the worst sounding records I own.

Jay Z Vinyl - Etsy UK

Anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Jalen perform live knows that he is one of the most captivating performers on today's soul scene.

He has nothing to lose and takes some smaller risks with not really experimental but unusual production choices. For instance, my mam's toyboy Gavin's 5-year old son (from another relationship) came around to our house a few months ago, and he somehow managed to get hold of a tippex white-out pen (maybe from my mam's drawer) and when I was not looking he drew tiny eyes on Jay-Z's face, between his finger and thumbs. Comprised of various labels we know and love at Rough Trade (Bella Union, ATO, Speedy Wunderground, Phantasy, Heavenly, Mute and more) PIAS [Recordings] filter through some of the most diverse artistry to our racks, which we greatly enjoy digging into.

it kind of gives you a hint on how much vinyls were considered back then if he's only talking about CDs, maybe. I think it’s simil to the Beyoncé Lemonade bootleg on vinyl which from what I’m hearing is better than the official US copy. I think it might have been repressed since I bought mine recently off UDiscover Music and recieved an LP that seemed to be pretty young, both Media and Sleeve. I don't wish misfortune on anyone, but it sounds like a little hardship needs to come your way so you can remember what made you famous in the first place.

I guess it has been mastered and pressed in an historic period where CD were the new thing and nobody really cared about pressing good vinyls, also in the thanks section Jay is writing something like "thanks to all the people who made this CD possible. The production is top notch, the pacing of the album is really strong too, kicks off with the strongest bangers of the album and get's a bit more mellow towards the end.
