Charlotte, North Carolina is full of amazing Hip-Hop talent right about now. This year already I’ve covered the music of Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon and Jaypluss, both of whom are extraordinarily talented MC’s with the back catalogue to prove it. In comes Mike Digi, a producer who for years now has been elevating his craft to stand alongside other Charlotte greats. On his new album, Mike steps up his game another level. 

Things kick off with ‘Continuation’, an apt title for a song that kicks off a new era in the producer’s music while sticking stoically to the things that make his beats so enthralling to begin with. It’s a short, moody set piece that segues successfully into the darker ‘Slavic City’, a vocal sample screaming into the void before being abruptly cut. Mike’s use of samples on these songs is nothing short of spellbinding, the spliced vocal excerpts conveying an incredible amount of emotional weight despite their brief utilisation. 

It’s here that we get to the rap portion of this album. Jah-Monte makes two appearances here, one on familiar territory (‘We Made It Right, It’s Up Now’) and one more ambitious cut (‘Oh Nah I’m On Noisey She Love Me’). The quasi-drumless loops of the former are as enjoyable as any of the Digi-produced cuts from Jah-Monte’s...  more

Following up the rich, soulful Jewelry Rap and the gritty, mafioso Alkaline Water, Jah-Monte’s third record of the year God Body & Soul (I Mastered Self II) is a piece composed by a litany of producers (including recent collaborators like Killer Kane and Krow) and of course Jah-Monte’s dense, storytelling raps. This diverse sound remains unified by general themes: echoing piano chords, tough yet playful drums and sombre jazzy moments. Jah-Monte’s verses are like pure gold dust, sweeping over each beat and leaving nothing but lyrical magic in his wake. With a concise track list, elite performances on each and every song, and most vitally an incredible ear for atmosphere, this is yet another stunning addition to the best rapper in Charlotte’s catalogue. Paying homage to the greats while also demanding his respect, the MC once again refused to take his foot off the game’s neck with this one.
