Ayatollah Jaxx - I Don't Wanna Know
Artist: Ayatollah Jaxx
Featuring: Dominique Larue , Beedie
Producer: J-Fish
Album: Stilltown Presents: Nothing Like You Ever Heard
Label: Godsendant
In late March, Ayatollah Jaxx introduced himself to Booth readers with a track he claimed was like “Nothing You’ve Ever Heard.” While the Pennsylvanian up-and-comer can no longer claim that his style’s totally new to our eardrums, those who liked his sound the first time ‘round will likely find the artist’s second feature equally appealing. On I Don’t Wanna Know, Jaxx and a few equally talented homies join forces over another soulful, retro-informed instrumental – this time coming courtesy of producer J-Fish – to offer their thoughts on that enduring question: is hip-hop dead? As Jaxx, HerStory femcee Dominique Larue and Booth newcomers Jonny Quest and Beedie simultaneously show and tell over the course of their witty, reflective verses, the answer is a resounding “Hell no!” If you’re digging this insightful jam, you can find more proof of the genre’s good health on Ayatollah Jaxx’ pre-Hello Hip Hop street album, Stilltown Presents: Nothing Like You Ever Heard, available now online.

Ohhhhweeeee. This is registering as an 8 out of 10 on the made-up "DJ Z Fresh Meter." The production is uplifting and all four artists flow over it seamlessly. I would have preferred a slightly shorter track, but the long run-time didn't sour me on the record.
A-Jaxx is two-for-two inside our Booth. Nice track record so far... |

this is one of my favourite tracks.
for the record, this isnt on my album. It's on a mixtape I released right before my album dropped called "stilltown Presents: Ayatollah Jaxx - Nothing Like You Ever Heard". It's available @ Stilltown.blogspot.com |

Fresher than some baby powder. Thank you Ayatollah and crew.
And a bonus star for rhyming "serendipitous." Bold move. |

I loved the smooth beat in this song ... very nice as for the vocals that was a different story. It sounded very old school and generic. There is nothing wrong with old school but when you start to imitate other people you need to identify yourself and not try to sound like other people

the production was the real winner here. it really spoke to me and made this track enjoyable to me. Ayatollah really went in too and with lines like "if hiphops dead i dont wanna say the eulogy"yu really cant go wrong. the hook was ok and everyone else had solid verses .
its a banger for moi |
