"The Essence Of..." is a brilliant LP of any gifted producer's ilk. Trust me, J. Rawls can easily surpass most of his contemporaries with this debut. It strings together a cast of diverse emcees who all contribute something solid to each track. Substantive collaborations on this album are "Far Away," with Mr. Complex and Apani B. The Fly Emcee, "Meniscus" featuring Dose-One and Fat Jon of Five Deez, "Cold Turkey" with Capital D. and Mr. Greenweedz (not to mention an intoxicating jazz loop) and "Nommo" with the Unspoken Heard.
J. Rawls is well on the way to solidifying a rep as a formidable producer capable of crafting beats on a par matched by peers like Pete Rock, Diamond and Jay Dee. J. Rawls has been bringing the heat on outside acts recently, evidenced by his work on the Black Star, Unspoken Heard and All Natural albums (just to list a few). Simply put, "The Essence of..." displays J. Rawls' deft utilizations of jazz samples, overriding crescendozs (like the warping, wailing effect on "Far Away" and the dizzying double piano incorporatin on "Cold Turkey") and head nodding snares.
