All I can say is that I love this album.   So why don’t I just let J. tell you what this CD is all about:

“For a long time, I have had this vision of a different type of jazz and hip-hop fusion.  I like to call this version, Jazz-Hop, because it is jazzy with elements of hip-hop inside it.  It’s most evident in the drums!  The boom-bap of hip-hop from is present; the smoothness of jazz is present.  Put those two together and it’s so right! This is for the thirty-something cats that yearn for a more mature music.  We grew up on hip-hop and live for the boom-bap, but we don’t really have any tolerance for the nonsense most rappers are talking about today.  This if for the hip-hop connoisseur that can appreciate good hip-hop merged with a touch of jazz.  I would like to welcome you to my imagination, jazzhop;”
