The 22 year old Bronx-native explodes on the scene with his newest mixtape called The Cooley High Sessions. Don’t be fooled. Fresh is not a newcomer. He has been around the block a few times with an appearance on DJ Kay Slay’s mixtape The Renegade Pt. 5: The Kingpinz and run-ins with a few labels including Def Jam. Even after all that, Fresh stayed strong when other artists would have given up. The Cooley High Sessions displays his passion for the music and his determination to succeed. Fresh gives a great welcome to “Cooley High” by Rapping on Lil Wayne’s “Let the Beat Build.” He follows that with the beat everyone and their mother has Rapped on. Yes it is Lil Wayne’s “A Milli.” On the track, he makes some bold claims like comparing himself to Tupac. He also throws a little jab at Wayne: “Niggas trying to sound like Wayne/Sound silly trying to rhyme like him/He trying sound like Gillie.” The beat might be played out, but he played it better than most artists. Fresh’s beat selection is very impressive. He used even more beats from popular tracks including Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’,” Styles P’s “Blow My Mind,” and Missy Elliott’s “Ching-A-Ling.” In addition to getting inspiration from those tracks, he also draws inspiration from various things like movies. Spike Lee’s movie She’s Gotta Have It is the inspiration for the track “50 Dollar Sneakers (Mars Blackmon).” This mixtape is not heavily featured, but it is heavily Fresh Jacobs. He holds his own and shows that he is not going anywhere. Only time can tell where he goes from here." Key Tracks: “50 Dollar Sneakers (Mars Blackmon),” “A Millie,” “Money In The Air (Pop A Rubberband)” Rating: 4/5 "Every now and then there is a hot rapper to come from the NY area, and this artist is no different, because he definitely has that heat. The Bronx native Fresh Jacobs has resurrected the game with his emphatic mixtape The Cooley High Sessions, and it doesn't disappoint. With hot tracks such as: "Return of the Boom Bap", "Doin The Damn Thang", and "Hustlin (That Real)", your speakers will truly bump louder than ever." © Copyright 2010 Black Genius Media Group |
