Single You Out: Dan Johns – The Magnum (ft. Amen)

I listened to the EP a couple of times last night, and that’s a rarity unto itself. But the five track, Resurgence, is such a great project I could not help myself. I went through my 2024 collection, and I am hard pressed to find a better EP this year than this. Dan Johns not only sounds super sharp on the mic but he handled all of the production as well. I honestly love the bars and production on every track, but I picked the one that features Amen. If you are familiar with Carolina Hip Hop in the mid 2000s, you should know this man and I haven’t heard from him in many years, but damn, listen to this flow! It’s like he never left!

Think of the kids I’d hate for her to raise em alone / Cuz you don’t want to draw my interest like a Savings and Loan

This is one of the best this year so please cop this project.

Jigmastas – The Resurge (Video)

The Jigmastas made their long awaited return to the hip hop scene last year and it really was a sight for sore eyes. DJ Spinna and Kriminul have born witness to the deterioration of hip hop over the course of the last decade and heading back to the frontlines to provide the “resurgence” needed. Spinna always provides a smooth and eloquent production featuring pianos and horns, while Kriminul blesses the mic with his distance voice and fresh delivery.

This is what the game needed! Check out their album, Resurgence, NOW!

It’s a great day for hip hop.  The Jigmastas are back at it again making music.   The blurb  attached to this song says it has been a ‘five year hiatus’ but it seems more like ten to me.   I will have to go back and see if I missed something.    The Jigmastas were the team in the late 1990s and early 2000s.  I fiended for those DJ Spinna beats and Kriminul rhymes.   Now I can become addicted all over again as they are going to drop and EP entitled Resurgence very soon and a full length in the fall.  I can’t wait.   So for older hip hop heads,  lets celebrate this reunion, and for the younger, get acquainted with some of the best in the business!
