Jon Hope - Rhode Less Traveled
Artist: Jon Hope
Producer: Blaze P
Album: Work In Progress
Label: Essence Music Group
Update: Click “Watch Now” above to view Jon Hope’s Walu-direct Rhode Less Traveled video.
First of all, just in in case you’re pun illiterate, yes, Jon Hope is from Rhode Island – hence the title of his Robert Frost inspired new single Rhode Less Traveled. And just in case you don’t care about poetic/geographical puns, all you really need to know is this is damn good music. Coming on the heels of Second Hand, Rhode is build around an anthemic, piano driven and percussively pounding beat supplied by producer Blaze P. From there it’s up to the aptly-named Hope to provide yet more bars of inspiration and encouragement, bringing listeners along with him on a ride into the future: “Hop in my car, throw away the rearview / so much in my life that I gotta steer through.” Now that’s something to bump in the whip. Fans of both hope, hip-hop and Jon Hope’s hip-hop have a lot to look forward to. Not only will Rhode Less Traveled be featured in Nike’s The Chance campaign, it also serves as the first official leak off his upcoming Work In Progress album, due to hit The DJBooth on May 9.

One of my favorite, most promising emcees on the come up in today's game. Is that the Charlie Brown theme being sampled?!

Not really a fan of this track. If it came on the radio, I would try to find something else to listen to...

The track could be much more convincing if the lower piano case was written better. But it goes
