Jon Hope - The Rap Life ft. Statik Selektah
Artist: Jon Hope
Featuring: Statik Selektah
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: Somekind of Wonderful
Label: Essence Music Group
One of the most underrated regions in hip-hop is the Greater Boston area. Despite loads of underground talent, such as Akrobatik, Termanology, and REKS, the upper Northeast has never gotten its ‘major shine.’ Looking to give The Rap Life a positive spin, and help his metropolitan area get some props, Providence, Rhode Island’s Jon Hope steps up to the plate
mic. Accompanied by the classical-mixing of producer Statik Selektah, The Rap Life, while not expected to get very much radio play, should nonetheless be a favorite among fans of conscious rap.

Statik Selektah has slowly become one of my favorite producers in the game. I need to reach out and see if he only does work with East Coast cats, because there are plenty of MCs from outside the NE who could benefit from this man's production skills. Oh, and Jon is tight too.

This is dope! The cuts on here are nice, especially that "Really Doe" sample from Kanye's "We Major". This is dope. This should get a lot of underground radio play, like on Rutgers Radio!

I am loving the production on this track and the mixture of different artists for the chorus. This dude is flowing proper on this track. This would be a strong single!

I’m pleased to see Statik Selektah getting recognition from DjBooth staff (Z, Blaze…), but I’m still waiting for that review though Nathan! ;) Bring “Spell my name right” to the site before it gets old! I like Hope’s flow and all the quotations in the lyrics. 3.5*

Like I said before, it's a matter of time before NE gets in the recognition that it deserves and I am not talking about BOSOX, CELTICS, or PATS.
