Artist: J-Bux
Album: Carry Us Away
Label: Independent
Producers: artist, Superstylez, Num3ers
It’s
no surprise that New Jersey’s J-Bux lays the groundwork with storytelling
rhymes that paints a picture in the listener’s mind. His previous Coke Stories
projects emphasize the lyrical content of his ability to keep it in the
streets. His previous collaborations with majority of QB rappers build the
credibility of his music. Now the scrape the plate general, J-Bux puts out a 18
track banger “Carry Us Away”.
As you know, this project starts and
ends with the same formula of street imagery and blazing production that keeps
people on their toes. He continues to pick the beats that match his delivery. The intro displays a piano infused beat
that brings straight into the title track with a bouncy futuristic sound where
his rhyme delivery fits. Joints like “Money
Boy”, “Maybach’s in the Lot” and “Marquis
Diamonds” captures the essence of the vivid street storytelling imagery. The
guest appearance complements with J-Bux’s flow especially on the murky “Taking My Hi” featuring Blitz to the
street awareness “Wolverine” with
Blitz and Godfather part 3 where they took street tales to another level. J-Bux
makes sure that the flow hits hard with “Something
In The Air” and “Gangsta” that
keeps the listeners glue through the hard knocking beats.
Carry Us Away has the same flow and
street imagery as his previous works. The theme of the album consists of various
street banger tracks with strong appearances and J-Bux’s gritty flow that makes
this a cohesive album. There are a few album fillers like Patrick Ewing which has a hard beat pattern but the hook throws it
off a little bit. 100 Racks is a
flipping bricks track that sound generic while Another Hero is an okay track which didn’t mesh well with the dark
moody tracks on the album. The originality stems from the subject matter: getting
money, stack cheddar, flipping bricks to name a few on the streets. This album
brings out more of J-Bux style and knows the essence of street knowledge.
