Jivin’ is a stunning discovery, the essence of organic hip-hop is clear and captivating, and Josh has the kind of calm confidence about his voice and his performances that rides alongside the music beautifully. This amazing soul is a 20-year-old rapper and singer from the bay area and he always loved music as a passion as well. Jivin’ is another amazing track by Josh to all the audience out there.
The vocal effect of Josh on the track and the way that it’s been mixed in has a fairly unusual sound to it. The presentation is generally quite classic, but there’s also a lot about it that is different, and this makes it even easier to pinpoint that Josh sound.
Lyrics aside for a moment, the track itself brings about a fairly new sound. The fresh energy of the music, the riffs and the melodies, the uplifting nature of the soundscape on the whole, and the artist’s voice – with its calming confidence and a clear sense of character – all make for something that ticks a lot of boxes. The louder you play it, the better the feeling. Then when you do focus on the lyrics, the whole thing shines even brighter; it’s something meaningful now, valuable, and important.
What’s also interesting about this particular track is that there is a definite sense of structure to the piece, the backdrop does vary a little at times, and the lyricism, the performance, even a touch of melody, all switch up accordingly. There’s an unquestionable level of artistry to this music and it’s the sort that sets in stone the fact that Josh is a great musician that fans of real hip-hop won’t want to be sleeping through. It’s a brilliant sound, a brilliant track – great energy, great vibes, and a really unique and clever set of lyrics. One for the long-term playlist, without a doubt.
