about
After I checked out a underground artist J. Nolan’s release “Resilience” I had to sit back for a second to absorb what I just heard. I felt both impressed and left wanting more. I felt his potential was both realized AND unmet. Upon first listen, you IMMEDIATELY recognize this cat is as hungry with the pen as anyone you can think of. Initial comparisons bring up J. Cole. A less technical Elzhi. Talib in his Rawkus days. His lyrics are a medley of rapid fire wordplay, honest vulnerability and multi-syllabic structures. His content is pure. Golden era positivity. Lyricism of the great era of the early 90’s. Punchline and metaphor usage approved by today’s current favorites. It’s ALL there. His voice is sure and confident. Delivery is strong.
Just as I was beginning to write off J. Nolan as another Skyzoo, I made it to two of the album’s standouts. “Hope” and “Going In”, both featuring Zayani Rose are truthfully the fist attempts by J. to craft a catchy hook. And he succeeds. Nothing too flashy or over the top. Simple. Repetitive. Melodic. Very fresh songs. “Resilience” and the outro “Being Here” are unbelievably good. “Being Here”, with a Consequence like verse from producer Ben Styles, is as captivating an outro as I have heard this year. Very nice finish.
All in all, this new artist is definitely ready for his chance. We need more rappers like him in the game, but you will never get there if you don’t EXECUTE. Nonetheless, this album is not only worth an ear, but worth a couple dollars.
