In the video, Rawls takes you on a trip with him to BRAZIL with his own personal home videos while touring the beautiful country with the likes of Kamau, Marechal, Kall Do Vale, his OUS fam and his brother J Live... The album, #jazzhop is a hip-hop/jazz infused opus dedicated to the style of music that has characterized his career. Rawls goes back to the roots of his early years producing in the 90’s-2000 underground/independent hip-hop explosion. Rawls jazzy production could be found from underground acts like J-Live and Unspoken Heard to All Natural and Dose One. According to Rawls, “I did this album because I have had so requests for music from that underground hip-hop era. This record was an ode to a simpler time in music for me. It took me back to a time when making music was just for fun.” As for the title, #jazzhop – Rawls defines jazzhop as BOOM BAP hip-hop with a JAZZY musical soundscape. Jazz hop lends itself to those hip-hop sensibilities with the hard-hitting drums with that hip-hop swing and the deep groovy bass lines. Then it’s topped with lush strings, vibes, horns and all the influence of jazz music and stylings. Rawls continues “It feels good; it feels comfortable and quite frankly, for me, it’s the perfect music.” Track Listing: 01 #daydreaming 02 #grand 03 #feelings 04 #afterdark 05 #trust 06 #lonely 07 #thebestpart 08 #stay 09 #mood 10 #saturdaynight 11 #satisfaction 12 #swing 13 #Brazil 14 #nightdreaming 15 (Bonus Song) Come at Me feat.
