As a supporter of my local—and the global—Occupy movement, I’ve frequently had to grit my teeth while others tarred protestors as unemployed layabouts whose problems could be solved with a little elbow grease. Though I doubt that anyone who doesn’t already see the writing on the wall is going to be won over by an underground hip-hop joint (however fresh), J The S makes a valiant effort to enlighten the populace on the latest leak off his Booth-sponsored debut set, rhyming about the facets of our socioeconomic system that make him go “WTF.” With Keelay and Lions Share‘s understated funk grooves as his backdrop, the Boston rhymesayer unmasks the “perilous scheme” that is the American Dream. Expressing his solidarity for those forced to make impossible choices between bills, health care and food for the family, Jake encourages listeners to make like Public Enemy and “Shut’em Down.” Feeling this politically-charged jam? WTF and many more bangers await J the S’s highly-anticipated The Last Days LP, set to hit our mixtape page January 18, for free streaming and download.

I've never been a huge fan of politically-charged rap music. Too much of it feels forced, unnatural, and awkward. Jake, however, comes across differently. He is knowledgeable, eloquent, and honest. Its hard not to agree with his stance when its offered up so well.

This sounds decent. It just feels like something is missing. I don't really like J the S flow on this track much. I do like the beat though. Not something I'd be rewinding and playing again...

I like the production on this track, but other than that nothing really stood out to me.

It would be nice to have someone else other that Lupe on the "mainstream" level, making music with substance. Maybe Jake could fill that void

Hahah even mentioning Lupe and this guys name in the same sentence is laughable. Boring flow and weak beat. Sounds like a coffee shop revolutionary to me. If you want to listen to actual political hip hop that may actually make you pull out a history book or two to understand what the @*#$! is going on, listen to IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE.
