专辑简介
Jahi, the lyrically conscious emcee of hope and determination, will be releasing his first full length album entitled "Higher Elevation" in March 2000 on Wreckanize Records/Two Sons Entertainment label. Jahi will be on a promotional tour for his album, and begin booking for his "Hiphop Life" tour.
The first single, "You Don't Know," is a battle track which displays Jahi's ability to mix it up and lyrically assault his competition. "Blaze it Up" is the new millennium anthem for true hiphop headz featuring Farid from The Chief Squad. The west coast produced track "E-F-F-E-C-T" is radio friendly for all listeners, and gets plenty of request in the clubs in the Midwest.
"Want You" is a deep love ballad that explores the beauty of sensuality. It's wonderfully written without negative connotations against the opposite sex. "Ready 4 War" is one of the hardest songs on the album lyrically packing tracks that make you bounce to the rhythm and strong words of revolution. On "Be the 1," Jahi challenges hiphop artists to go against the norm of commercial radio and stay true to its roots.
"I AM Poetry" offers a hypnotizing rhythm and smooth jazz like lyrics, once again showing off his versatility as a hiphop artist. Turning up his rhyming skills on "If You See Me," Jahi becomes the every-man-as-superman as he gives you his high energy style. "Power Moves 2000," a follow up to the 1999 hit single "Power Moves", hits hard with signature conscious lyrics.
"Move On" is an inspirational song with heavy bass grooves provided by 3ft. Jahi expands his hiphop consciousness on "Roam the Land" as he travels to the world of spoken word. This track features Elle from Soulsistah Entertainment and four time "Showtime at the Apollo" winner Da Boogie Man. On "Give Me a Sign," Jahi has an intimate conversation with God. "Higher Elevation," the title cut of the album, is a melodic story of struggle and life experiences.
Overall, the album is a collection of conscious hiphop. Speaking on his first full length album, Jahi says, " This project represents what you can accomplish with hard work, passion, and determination. Although I wouldn't say this is my best work because I am still evolving, I will say that this album has something that most people can vibe to."
