Jesse Abraham - Always & Forever
Artist: Jesse Abraham
Featuring: Homeboy Sandman
Producer: K.O. Beatz
Album: One Day EP
Label: Unsigned
Change may be the only constant (that’s Heraclitus again), but some things are pretty damn reliable: gravity, the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, Jesse Abraham records being packed from top to bottom with dazzling wordplay. As if you needed any extra assurance, Always & Forever is no exception to the latter rule – in fact, it finds the freestyle series alum joined by another Brooklyn native with a penchant for labyrinthine punchline lyricism. With Queens producer K.O. Beatz’ warm piano chords ringing in the background, the emcee muses about creativity and artistic vision in bars as heartfelt as they are tightly-wound: “I’m so available I write with no veil / So frail is my flow / I stay warm though / Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.” On the back, Homeboy Sandman grabs the mic for a guest 16 packed with his trademark gnomic wit: “A good sun can eclipse an entire dark moon / A single candle can light an entire dark room…” Topped off with hook vocals by Corina Corina, this joint can be found on Abraham’s forthcoming, Booth-sponsored One Day re-release, set to hit our mixtape page June 14.

I like the verses they are on point but the hook well i should just call it a chorus because its not hookin me just makes me want to kill myself just to not hear it again. alot more time should of been put into thinking about how to make that chorus appeal to the masses. 2.5

One of my more favorite Jesse Abraham tracks. And having a verse from Homeboy Sandman doesn't hurt either.

If you've never heard either of these artists spit before, you'll probably be on the fence here. But, as someone who has heard a lot of material from Jesse and a fair amount from Sandman, it falls right in line with their history of witty rhymes over dope beats.

Not really feeling this one too much. Don't like the hook too much and although his delivery is very good the beat kills anything good about this song.

The lyrics are great. There are some really clever lines, especially . However, I wasn't feeling the delivery from either emcee, I thought they lacked energy, and the beat was kind of boring as well. Additionally, the hook was awful, and really ruined the song.

The hook is catchy with innocent charm contrasting lyrics of "hell & highwater....ocean of emotion devotion & pain." JA's observations of life's duality, keeps it real. ~Always & Forever a JA fan.

Jesse Abraham and Homeboy Sandman are a great combination. I like the beat. It's simple and lets the lyrics really shine.
