When I saw this JET Magazine poofing album cover, along with the text on the cover describing this project as 'marriage music' mixed with important social issues... I was sold.
So how did Koncept Jack$on and Ohbliv create an album of marriage music and important social issues?
Well, starting with the production, Ohbliv successfully created a tapestry of the brightest and most gorgeous old-school soul and funk.
And what's even more special about these beats is the tempo and rhythms? These aren't the type of productions that just ANY rapper could rap over... there is often not a traditional pocket in these beats. Only a special kind of rapping delivery could manage to not get lost in these beats.
Luckily for us, these beats were tailor-made for a rapper like Koncept Jack$on, as his rapid-fire flow is equally as relentless as the production, with an almost dizzying display of rapping being put forward on every single track.
Koncept spits game about women as you'd expect in marriage music, and impresses with nice wordplay crammed into seemingly impossible flows.
However, no individual performance from either of these guys is the key. It's the synergy between Jack$on and Ohbliv that makes this album special.
Sometimes matching each other in intensity, and sometimes contrasting each other in a nice way.
The JET MagaZINE '21 Reissue is a classic better than the sum of its parts kind of album, because it is not meant for listening to as stand-alone tracks... from start to finish, this album takes you on 24 minute jam-packed sunshine-filled ride with the top-down.
This is a supremely enjoyable album that puts me in a really good mood... and in times like this, I really appreciate that. This album is just so fun.
