Still Rising

Jeru The Damaja [2007] Still Rising

I've been waiting for this album forever, and when it finally leaks, I have to spend all night studying... life's a bitch. Enjoy the album, I will listen to it tomorrow, even thought I'm not expecting another classic like the ones he dropped with Primo, I sure expect some good tracks.
EDIT: After listening to the album, it's safe to say it's a little better than what I was expecting, the production is not anything near Primo, but it's decent (and sometimes actually good), I think the 2 beats handled by Jeru are standouts and the Showcase produced track "NY" features a modern rap beat in which Jeru's flow kinda fits, the lyrics are on point as usual, Jeru fans will like to hear another story of his fight against ignorance on "The Prophet", I bolded my favorite tracks. Thanks for keeping making good music for your fans Jeru.

01. Intro
02. The Crack
03. The Prophet
04. Ghetto
05. Murdera
06. Quantum Leap
07. History 101
08. How Ill
09. Will Grow (Interlude)
10. Dirty Bomb
11. NY

12. Juss Buggn'
13. Airplay
14. Kick Rocks
15. Hold Tight
16. Streets

Tracks 02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,12,14,15,16 produced by Sabor
Tracks 10,13 produced by Jeru
Track11 produced by Showcase

Oh, and in case you care, I re-upped the Jeru collection.

It's great lyricwise, but fails a little in the production.
But i was expectin this... like the last album, the beats pale in comparison to the lyrics.

Jeru is a monster at lyrics man... every f'in' song blows my mind...

Lyrics don't get no better than this.

This album just reminds me of the good ol' hip-hop days when we loves the songs by it's lyrics over the beats.

I'm not sayin' the beat are wack... just... it's not Primo... not even closer lol

PS.: Kazeiro, o som History 101 fala de como "nós" (tugas) fomos os primeiros a dealar escravos... tá bem forte essa letra... Nunca ouvi um som de rap americano que falasse tanto de portugal... mesmo que seja pelas piores razões.

Big up

Jeru The Damaja still one of Hip-Hop's best lyricists of all time.

Kazeiro said...

I completly agree with you CL, it's an okay produced album, I had the same expectations for the album. Some songs are really nice thought.

PS: Também reparei nisso e tive a mesma reacção. A referência a portugal que me vinha mais à cabeça foi no "T.R.O.Y" quando falam da "portuguese lover", mas esta letra.. uau...

But the albums he did with Primo gave him the title of one of the GOAT, and he will never lose it.

Keep with the good posts.

thanks. He's still the shit.

That guy from RBBR said...

Agree with posts above. He mentioned Premo a couple of times on the album, though in a good way. I think he said 'back when Guru was making hits with Premier' or something.

How on earth could you not put "Kick rocks" in bold? That track kills!!! Bombass beat and Jeru flowing perfectly and the idea for it?!? Dayum! Supertrack! Btw, Im sorry for the things I said, I know I offend. But... I call it like I see it my friend. I got more to say but I make it a habit not to talk with dudes...

Anonymous said...

first time im peepin this and wow....just wow....i miss lyricism and flow like this. this dude is sickness.

Dwebbb said...

This Album is better than most of the so called underground stuff thats out now!! The problem is you guys keep sayin if preeom did it it would be a classic. Thats not a fact have you heard Preemo lately? He aint been @ the top of his game. whats the last classic he produced?? If you really check Jeru's album you'll see he coproduced the sun rises. I f you listen you will notice none of the beats on that album have the same preemo drum pattern that he uses on all his records nowadays. Not preemo bashing cause he is one of the best but so is Jeru and this is a good album

"Not preemo bashing cause he is one of the best but so is Jeru and this is a good album"

correction: This is a GREAT album!

Yo Julius... don't sleep on Jeru. Go check his back catalogue... Classic material

Kazeiro said...

Anonymous @ Kick Rocks is def a good track, but I don't think J's flow in this track as ill as in some others. And the lyrics are kind of boring imo.

I'm very happy that Jeru's getting some attention, his lyrics and flow are untouchables. :)

Thks agian Kazeiro
I bought the album and im not disappointed althought some prod. could have been better. But it still boom bap

I would like to ear JEru on beats from 9th Wonder, Khrysis, Analogic, EL-P, KEv Brown & Odisee, Marco Polo, MF DOOM.
Just to see how he big he could break my neck

Thanks for this one. Just stumbled over it right now.
Jeru is my hero since the release of "The Sun rises in the east". The lyrics combined with his voice, style and flow. One of a kind. Good to see him back with another release. Will definately buy it to have the Jeru collection complete. Hope he'll come go on tour again now aswell. Missed his last two concerts here in Berlin. :( Not so this time!

accommodation hervey bay queenslanditunes gift cardI feel like I have not been reading your blog for long enough. I will really miss the quality of your writing, but I am also overjoyed that you are also fulfilling a life dream.
I will miss you very much. Now I need to find some more blogs to read ^^

Knowing that he did not have sufficient strength to capture the city, Early led skirmishes at Fort Stevens and Fort DeRussy. The opposing forces also had artillery duels on July 11 and July 12. Abraham Lincoln watched the fighting on both days from the parapet at Fort Stevens, his lanky frame a clear target for hostile military fire. After Early withdrew, he said to one of his officers, "Major, we haven't taken Washington, but we scared Abe Lincoln like hell.

Ah, I can see now that it was me who got things wrong. Sorry.
The figure is absolutely brilliant by the way, and certainly better than anything I could ever produce. If I employed him on my table he'd show up all my pitiable efforts and no mistake. To be honest the Colonial figures I'm considering are Peter Pig, but painted up for a long running (imaginary) NW Frontier game set somewhere between say, 1890 & 1900 rather than a (Sudan) African campaign. The campaign shown on my blog is really just a side show to get me "into" the 19th C. (like yourself I have no experience in the period).

A very nice looking cavalry regiment. I hope that you can make it to the SYWA convention. I'm sure that you will have better luck in the game. I think that "aisle between the tables" caught you off guard. I watched you play in other games and I can say that you are a good wargamer. so chalk it up to some bad luck, nothing more than that.

Excellent work on the general and his horse! And on the other minis as well! Even your 54 mm (I mean 28mm!) minis look great. ;-)
I find dappled horses tricky to paint, too. Reference materials can help a lot.

Sorry for the delay on the naval battle, but our group is involved in a 7YW campaign and getting the group to change has been difficult. I'll keep pushing because it really looks interesting.

I have never had this much trouble giving away a miniature before :) If either of you ever want him he'll be collecting dust on my shelf or if you can recommend anyone else who would like him let me know.
I will do a little step by step with a couple of 15mm figs like I did the 10mm in a future blog. Pretty much Kevin Dallimore's technique though.

fabulous work Stefan!!! Drawing is spot on, and I love the colour harmonies in all of them. I don't know if it is the sitting couches in these paintings or the older word feel of the museum room.. but these really remind me of some great victorian/edwardian interiors done by painters like Merrit Chase and Duvenek.

There are two ways to fill a glass with fresh juice, quickly. The first is to buy a juicer like Breville's centrifugal juicers. They can fill an 8-ounce glass in five minutes. Brevilles also produce up to 30% more juice from produce, which can save you a lot of time and money over the long term.
