Hailing from Newnan, GA, rapper Jay Fox puts some impressive barring ability on display. The man can really rap. It’s not with fast words or crazy poetic combos, it’s just pure, thoughtful and meaningful bars from a smooth-sounding voice with expert delivery. But it seems to lack some pop. It may be a combination of the beats, which (though very well produced) don’t offer much by way of catchy drums and melodies, and Fox’s somewhat lackluster hooks. With beats that lack distinct melodies or loops, a versatile vocal presence is sometimes required. We’d like to see the same poetic effort appear in Fox’s hooks, for him to let fresh beats do the heavy melodic lifting and let his writing ability shine.
