Emcees that rhyme about an addiction to the ‘street life’ are usually products of their own lyrically-explained environment. Unfortunately, record label head honchos feed off of their artist’s strife and this tends to lead them toward a false bravado.  Jon Hope sees this vicious cycle and on his new song, The Rush, he’s callin’ ‘em all out. Appealing to both the rappers who feel that they must ball out and the label employees that sign them, the Rhode Islander’s new record packs plenty of purpose.  Over a slick production from St. Patrick Productions, the enlightened emcee drops intense lyrical messages: “you dumb bastards, part of my frustration/ I used to be like you, mistaken, now I awaken a street icon/ I am Jon, I fear no man but God.” Although there is no release date as of yet, Hope’s Some Kind of Wonderful EP will be in stores later this year.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on June 16, 2008

MH I know you had a good night, I wish I was with ya, but you didn't like this track either? I just knew you would comment on this one. I felt like you could kill this beat with the boy Jon Hope. I refuse 2 believe YOU didn't feel this. Say it ain't so!

I've heard some Jon Hope in the past and he's dope. [But I'll have to wait the DJBOOTH.NET is fixed so I can listen to the song -- MH, the audio is fine (e-mail me if you have a problem from now on.)]

Everyday, I am convinced that most of our members only look to see if an artist is signed or if they have a 'dope' or 'good looking' profile photo, and then sadly base those criteria as a determination of hot/not. Okay... sidebar over. Jon has made talent, nice song.
