Ayatollah Jaxx - Nothing Like You Ever Heard
Artist: Ayatollah Jaxx
Producer: Chim Beatz
Album: Hello, Hip Hop
Label: Godsendant
Now that Spring Break is officially over and I’m sweeping the shattered hopes of my March Madness bracket under the rug (damn you Kansas!), I was hoping that my musical inbox today would be able to ease the pain of going back to school. Thankfully I found the cure for my troubles with Ayatollah Jaxx and his first DJBooth feature Nothing Like I’ve Ever Heard. Lyrical heads will likely be impressed by the young Pennsylvanian emcee, who shows how his determination and drive for greatness via the mic, creatively comparing his game to finely aging shrimp & fried rice (hungry?). Backed by an upbeat, um, beat from producer Chim Beatz, Jaxx manages to weave his through the celebratory, old school production with a nearly effortless flow. If you want to hear more music like you’ve never heard before, be sure to check out Ayatollah’s latest album, Hello, Hip Hop, out now. School is back in session, and it sounds pretty good.

I always have a soft spot in my musical likings for material that I feel was created with the intention of being performed in front of a live audience. This Booth debut from A-Jaxx fits that bill. The underlying energy is addictive (its impossible to not nod your head while listening) and the overall feel is upbeat and very enjoyable. This won't be the last time this emcee steps foot in our Booth...

respect. @DJ Z this jawn is received very well by crowds. The hook is perfect for call and response.

Like I never heard may be pushing it, but this is definitely some original ish. Has some real old school spirit and energy; quality rhymes over quality beats? Imagine that.

Oh, and it's more than a little ironic that in a song called Nothing Like You Ever Heard, Jaxx lifts line from Kanye (what more could you ask for, the int'l @*#$!) and Common ("get on this conscious dick ), right?

I'm sort of on the fence about this song. Now I've never heard this guy before but right after my first listen, I'm a FAN of his flow (great presence on mic), but then his voice.
Lets say... I would like to hear a few more songs before I make a strong opinion on it (good or bad), as for now this track goes in heavy rotation. |

Sounds like something I've heard before... with that old school vibe. The voice is "nothing like I've ever heard" - kind of annoying but the beat is real nice.

To me his voice is drowning out the beat some.I think they should go back and mix his vocals a tad lower.
