With dusty, hallucinogenic creation from Roc Marciano, Jay Commendable's most recent cooperative collection is his grimiest to date.
Over the course of the last 10 years, Jay Commendable has become one of the most reliable individuals from the West Coast underground. The Compton-via Vancouver emcee is half of LNDN DRGS, the venture he shaped with maker Sean House in 2014. The late A$AP Sweet potatoes was an early hero, and his mentorship made the way for work with any semblance of Curren$y, G Perico, and Larry June. As an independent craftsman, Commendable's piled up strong collections with Top notch makers like DJ Muggs, Harry Misrepresentation, and the Chemist. He's likewise endorsed to Griselda Records, however his sumptuous California sound doesn't actually line up with the name's normal twisted tape grime. Commendable's made his vocation by insightfully picking partners; however not the most in fact talented rapper, he's an expert of energy. His actual ability lies in finding individual voyagers who share his vision.
Commendable's most recent collection, Nothing Greater Than the Program, proceeds with his dash of propelled coordinated efforts, matching him with underground legend Roc Marciano. Marci's perfect ear for dusty, hallucinogenic circles makes this Commendable's grimiest collection, the nearest he's come to exemplifying the Griselda ethos. It's additionally one of his most element pressed projects, as everything except two melodies ("How?" and "Players Just") have visitor stanzas. Nothing about this music feels threw off: Marci's kush-scented creation feels flawlessly fit to Commendable's hoodlum nearby persona and the two, alongside a board of criminal-disapproved consiglieres, set up a painstakingly thought to be set of tomfoolery, unpleasant rap tunes.
Marci doesn't necessarily get his legitimate due as a maker. His performance records are independent universes; the post-RZA sound he shaved to the basics with 2010's Marcberg laid the foundation for a lot of the present glory rap scene. At the point when he creates for different craftsmen, he will in general work with additional polarizing rappers like Oven God Cooks or Escape Ruler. Commendable has an all the more quickly pleasing appeal, his most deplorable offense being a smooth L.A. stream that could not necessarily in every case land right on East Coast ears. However, Marci's insignificant, frequently drumless thumps are the ideal background for Commendable, whose push-pull conveyance slips effectively into every little hiding spot.
Take, for instance, the title track, where Marci intonations the dropping wah-pedal guitar with a kick-cymbal combo however leaves the circle in any case unadorned. Commendable raps as though he's late for an arrangement, hurrying through the finish of each bar almost winded. At the point when the snare comes around, he pulverizes "Aw damn, they shooting" and "I commit to God I was unable to make this poo up" into a dire, wobbling sudden spike in demand for sentence. Regardless of whether Commendable isn't dropping quotable lines, his conveyance has a specific power to it, a snapping energy viewed as all through Nothing Greater.
"Awaken" is the most grounded track, and it masterfully distils the qualities of Commendable and Marci's association. The delicate center beat feels like a funk band heating up two tomato juice and vodka profound, uncertain of where the depression will take them. Commendable spits a day-in-the-existence refrain that moves from nursing a headache to riding to "Maryland in a Chevy roadster," probably filthy. Marci appears in excellent condition for an unannounced section, taking apart and collaging multisyllabic rhyme plans. The two sound totally regular together, and Marci's appearance on the mic feels like a blessing. Close by heavenly sections somewhere else on the record from veterans like Bun B and Kurupt, it's a demonstration of the kindness that Commendable has procured in the hip-jump local area and one more defining moment in his development from durable to pursued.
