Jason James - Forgetting How to Dream
Artist: Jason James
Producer: Rodney Hazard
Album: Pyramids in Stereo
Label: Unsigned
This Is My Rifle, the inaugural single release off Jason James and Rodney Hazard‘s new project, was a cold shower of political reality after the steaming sh*tstorm that was the 2012 Presidential campaign. After force-feeding listeners the proverbial “red pill,” the Vancouver rhymesayer would be remiss if he didn’t face up to the comfortable illusions behind his own hustle. On Forgetting How to Dream, the second world premiere off his and his longtime collaborator’s next street album, he does just that, acknowledging that he was once enchanted by fantasies of cash, whips, and getting it in with Rihanna, but ultimately revealing rap superstardom for the Faustian bargain he believes it to be. Hazard provides a moody, atmospheric instrumental for his collaborator’s understated, yet intense bars. Feeling it? More intricate beats and insightful rhymes await on Pyramids in Stereo, set to hit our front page November 28, for streaming and download.

 This song reminds me of the quiet before the storm seen of a movie. The tense atmosphere bubbles up, heading toward a climax. Love the emotion.

This song really grew on me as time went on. Cool flows by both and Rodney Hazard did a good job on the beat. I'll add this to the rotation.

I love the beat on this track. Good job Rodney Hazard. From the first few seconds it had me and Jason Jame's lyrics were truth. His message made this this track all the more better..
