J The S - Do You ft. ft. Joell Ortiz & Lee Wilson
Artist: J The S
Featuring: Joell Ortiz , Lee Wilson
Producer: Raf Moses
Album: When In Rome...
Label: Unsigned
In anticipation of the release of his third underground album, The Last Days, Boston rapper J the S (short for Jake the Snake) released a “prequel” album, When In Rome…, this past March. Joining fellow Bay Statesmen Termanology and Akrobatik with his classic underground-style rap, Jake calls on the audience to Do You while he “does him” (please erase all thought of Rocko from your mind). Fellow underrated undergrounders (Aftermath artist Joell Ortiz and hookman Lee Wilson) contribute to J the S’s message of individuality, while producer Raf Moses sets up an unusually sunny beat. Don’t feel bad that Do You will likely never get mainstream airplay; the airwaves aren’t the setting for J The S to dwell.

You know I'm a sucka for the soulful beats. I'm definitely digging the Raf Moses production. J the S sounds pretty decent. He kinda sounded like Nas when he first came in. LOL. But this can go in rotation. The hook is decent as well. The mix quality sounds really low though.

J The S and Joell Ortiz have great chemistry on this record. The gospel influenced hook and production complete the hook. Underground hip-hop is overflowing with quality MCs, it's just a matter of getting them the recognition they deserve.

I kinda agree with the Boss on this one, however Joell Ortiz brings it on here and everything I hear him on. This is cool I guess.

Boston is in the building. That's an automatic 1 star. On a side note, how did everyone enjoy the Celtics victory! 2008 Champs--I had to put in my plug. Boston sports is spoiling me right now. Lee Wilson sounds sharp on the hook. Keep it coming J The S. Joell didn't do much for this track.

J The S has a real nice flow, Lee Wilson sounds great on the hook and Joell Ortiz was solid, if not great. I honestly feel like most of the country sleeps in Boston hip-hop. I guess they feel like their sports teams are too dominant now to also takeover the rap scene???
