Screaming fans, flashing cameras, and big money are nice, but no amount of glitz or glamor can distract Jon Hope from his first love, the music—as the Providence, RI native puts it on the lead single off his forthcoming Work In Progress, he’s simply Above It All.  Hope’s single-minded pursuit of musical greatness has clearly paid off, particularly on the lyrical tip.  Over a pensive blend of strings and piano by beatsmith Taktix (who also produced and sang the hook on Hope’s Better) the artist announces his intention to “kill fear and decapitate hate,” delivering ambitious verses jam-packed with poetic imagery and subtle wordplay.  Topped off with a soulful hook by R&B singer Nandi, this track is sure to raise anticipation for Jon Hope’s latest opus—Work in Progress has yet to receive a solid release date, but fans can keep it locked to the Booth for all the latest news and tunes.

Jon has such a presence on the mic. He captivates with his vocals. This crescendos perfectly at the chorus as Nandi takes over the hook. Inspiring.

Very solid, stuck to the concept like a pitbull, and I especially dig the fact he can reference the familiar topics without spitting bars of cliched sh*t, kinda like Young Son ... Oh! wait

Mike DREAMS + Jon HOPE

A-Yo! ya both should consider doing a joint together.

Jon Hope has such a lyrical talent. I'm a sucker for lyrical artists and tracks. I've been a fan of Jon since I first heard him here on the DJ Booth. He always seems to have something to say. Listen to the incredible lyrics. I can see myself rapping with this guy. Classic.
