Jon Hope - The Bottle
Artist: Jon Hope
Producer: LJC
Album: Work in Progress
Label: Essence Music Group
Over the past few years hip-hop has slowly moved from a music that celebrates partying to one that celebrates liver-destroying binge drinking. It’s no longer enough to simply pop bottles, you have to do Shots with LMFAO and get slizzered like Three 6 until you can’t remember your name. Well, as always, you can count on DJBooth Freestyle alum Jon Hope to set the record straight. Just like he did on previous feature Bills, Hope reveals the true consequences and complexities of reaching for liquid courage when times gets hard. While LJC pulls double duty as both a smooth hookman and creator of a simultaneously light and dark beat, lyrically Hope takes the (quasi?) autobiographical approach, telling the first person story of a man left with nothing and no one to turn to, except that always reliable bottle. DJs, feel free to play this one back to back with Fly Like a G6. Fittingly, Hope’s upcoming album Work in Progress is under construction as we speak. Keep it locked for further details.

Jon is a promising young emcee. His vocals almost always capture the moment and he forces you to listen to every last syllable. The production and hook work from LJC are both average at best, but neither reduces the quality of the record. Overall, "The Bottle" is a step forward for Hope, neither up nor down.

This record is dope. Real different sound on the production, and Jon Hope is really impressive over the track with a unique style. The sing-rap blend reminds me of Cudi but there really isn't much more of a comparison. Smooth hook as well, this is nice.

Dope, dope and dope again. Hope's quickly becoming one of my favorite emcees, and this is exactly why. Deep issues tackled in an engaging and listenable way - not a lot of dudes could pull it off. Hope can.
