Scram Jones - Fork in the Road
Producer: Scram Jones
Album: Beast Music Compilation
Label: Beast Music Records
Most of us, when we come to a figurative Fork in the Road, weigh our options and choose whichever seems likely to lead us in the right direction. Always an out-the-box thinker, NYC mainstay Scram Jones chose both paths when faced with the decision of whether to go the rapper or producer route – and on this new single, he presents yet more proof that he made the best choice possible. Set for inclusion on the emcee/beatsmith’s forthcoming compilation album, this cut finds Scram serving up an unconventionally catchy, sampled instrumental driven by a retro-informed bassline and jazzy piano chords as he spits about his growth from a young, weed-loving ne’er-do-well to an older and richer but equally weed-loving hip-hop superstar. The moral of this story? Stay in drugs, kids, and don’t do school. On second thought, you’d probably be better off ignoring my advice – that is, except when I advise listeners digging this track to pick up a copy of Scram Jones’ Beast Music Compilation, set to hit stores and online retailers sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.

Scram Jones the producer or Scram Jones the emcee - which do you prefer? Or is the answer simply both? Or neither? That answer will guide you to making a judgment on this record. Personally, I prefer Scram Jones the producer, but that's just me.

@Z i must agree, his beat is rather powerful compared to his emcee work- which is still very nice

I don't like to stick folks into boxes, but after Kanye a lot of producers started wondering why they weren't rapping too, even if their mic skills weren't stellar.
Scram definitely belongs in that class. His beat's are sick, but I just don't know if the mic skills are there.

Production on this was indeed up to par, as far as his vocals and lyrical talent....it still needs a lot of work.
