Jesse Abraham - Yoga
Artist: Jesse Abraham
Producer: Spills
Album: Bars & No Bull Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
If we learn one thing about Jesse Abraham today (aside from his creativity), it’s that he’s funny as hell. Actually, we may have learned that on his last offering, the equally-original and Booth-acclaimed Spiderman on Vitamins. Fine, consider worldwide premiere Yoga, the lead single off his upcoming project, an alarm clock for those who were asleep the first time around. The jittering, left-of-center production from Spills gives Abraham everything he needs to successfully accomplish an ode to “fitness” that delivers line after line of great content: “I take out my mic, she check 1, 2” and “I’m lucky enough to be a witness / Acting like a Jewish kid on Christmas, what is this?” are just a few of the greats on here. The only sad part is the brevity, but that it’s easily balanced by how repeat-worthy the record really is. If you liked how Abraham stretched and spread his talent on this one, be sure look out for his Bars and No Bull Mixtape, dropping via your boys at DJBooth on October 12.

Man, I cannot deny the instantaneous appeal of this Abraham premiere. I could see how some listeners would find Jesse's vocals/appeal slightly annoying, but that doesn't mean he isn't talented - he just isn't their cup of tea. I love the direction his new project is headed.

I'm not really feeling the simple rhyme cadence and flow on this one. I didn't find it that funny, and the hook got annoying after a while. Its not horrible, but not worth rotation either.

Simplicity has never sounded worse IMO. Not to sound harsh, but I didn't hear anything special outta this track. That hook was garbage! Artists incorporating comedy into their music is always a plus, but this was just a train wreck.

He is talented, and this track has its appeal, hands down. But i got this feeling that this track could have been better.

Like the "Spiderman" record, this is one of those records that immediately grabs your attention, and holds it. You're listening closely to try to get every joke and reference. Jesse can get dangerously close to gimmick, but as long as he's on that right side of that fine line, I've got him on repeat.

I saw this live last week and the roof almost collapsed. If you live in NY do yourself a favor and go to one of his shows.
