New Music: Jin is Back | Say Something |
By Kwaku Adu-Poku
You may remember Jin from his legendary stint on 106 & Park's Freestyle Fridays. Well, a few months ago our friends at Channel APA reported the upcoming release of his new mixtape, Say Something, which is an 8 track journey through his thoughts and his growth over a decade spent in the music industry. It's a really personal and introspective look at everything he's been through, particularly on tracks like Beautiful Story and Angels, which both take on a decidedly more autobiographical tone. A video for Angels just dropped earlier this month, which you can check out over at Channel APA.
Say Something is a testament to his hard work and dedication, letting you know that while you may not have heard from him in a while, he certainly has not gone anywhere. The mixtape features beats from some of the highest chart topping tracks of the past few years. Beats from Kanye, Jay-Z, Drake and Rihanna are coupled with Jin's signature lyricism. He also addresses what seems to be a deepened sense of spirituality that is a common current in every track.
From my perspective, my music has always been a reflection of my mind state at the given time. As I continue to grow in my faith and spirituality, I can only pray that I will continue to find inspiration and creativity to spread this message in my music.
Say Something is a short, sweet reminder that Jin is still in the game, and he is more determined than ever.
