Jon Hope - Still Breathin'
Artist: Jon Hope
Producer: Taktix
Album: The Waterfire
Label: Essence Music Group
I love road trips. Let me edit that: I love road trips when I have some good music in my stereo - nothing irks me more than having to listen to Pretty Boy Swag 18 times on the radio in 30 minutes. Thankfully, I received a slew of fresh tracks for my ride this weekend, one being Jon Hope’s new world premiere on the Booth, Still Breathin’. (Some were starting to wonder if Jon was still breathing since the last time we heard from him was May’s Which One.) The freestyle alum uses this single to give listeners hope (pun!) in a world where the little things sometimes feel like a crushing burden. His solution? Simply give thanks that you’re inhaling and exhaling. Backed by a light and catchy production from Taktix, Hope shows that he’s not to be slept on with an immediately appealing style and bars that show nothing but confidence. If you enjoyed this breath of fresh air (another pun!), be sure to check out his latest project, The Waterfire, dropping in October via your boys at DJBooth.net.

We told Jon that we'd like to be a part of his forthcoming new project a few months ago, long before we ever heard "Still Breathin." Then we heard "Still Breathin." Man, am I glad we reached out...
(This isn't a classic, but I happen to enjoy it more than 99% of the features we run... which makes it a 5-star track for me.)

There's nothing wrong with a track that makes you feel good. It's not the most creative or catchy, but the track has that uplifting appeal to it.

I like a banger as much as the next man, but what happened to music that just makes you feel good? Or I should say, I didn't know what happened to feel good music before I heard Still Breathin. With a name like Hope, I should have known what to expect. I'm glad I listened to this first thing in the morning, I'm ready to attack today now.
