Lesson: Don`t judge a book by its cover. Case: Jahir & The Experiement.
The cover has nothing to do with the music. Usually, this kind of look
is an
immediate `tosser` for obvious reasons for Not Lamers, but you`d be
missing
something very unique. I`ve been waiting for an artist who`d be bold
enough
to blend hip-hop into the truly power pop, Beatlesque landscape and Jahir
not only attempts this but succeeds. Sure, this may not be
everyone`s idea
of `power pop` and, well, it`s not, but it`s definitely `pop`, it
definitely
has songs, it definitely has melody and just click on the soundbites and
hear fror your self. " New York�¹s factory-new Jahir & the Experiment
boast
a little of everything for a lot of demographics. Essentially a hip-hop
garage band high on their passion for melody, production and A-B rhymes,
their unironic earnestness is infectious and forgives a great deal of
audible inexperience. The impossibly sunny �³New York Original�² is as
bratty
as a post-rap They Might Be Giants, and when Jahir drops his sincere
brand
of hip-hop, the palpable grime is something of a shock.. A seductive pop
harmony perfectly sets up Jahir�¹s street-flavored sucker punch, and you
never see them coming."-OrlandoWeekly. Listen to it below...that is the
best way to see if you `get it`. If you do you, you`ll be amply rewarded.
