Jon Hope - Showdown
Producer: Taktix [for Black Keyz Productions]
Album: Some Kind of Wonderful
Label: Essence Music Group
As a nation we’re searching for change and progress, which is exactly what Rhode Island’s Jon Hope is praying for on his newest single, Showdown. Armed with a distinctive voice, a Statik Selektah mixtape called The Audacity and a co-sign from DJBooth, Hope uses his linguistic skills to his fullest on this track, with stellar results. Producer Taktix [of Black Keyz Productions] delivers a beat filled with steady, bouncy piano punches, over which this cocky and brash youngin’ will keep rhymin’ till he “goes diamond.” Offering a unique brand of ghetto lullaby, Hope “Lynn Swann’s” the game with music that can bring the streets into the club. The flow might be from Harlem, but Rhode Island is definitely represented on Hope’s newest Booth feature.

Jon has some real talent. He is really coming into his own on SHOWDOWN. I like his topical content and the production here is rock solid.

It's absolutely not my type of song but it has energy. His flow is more than ok and the beat is just bangin! I'm feeling the hook, maybe more than the verses. I think this will go in the clubs. In rotation
