Jeremiah Jae – A Cold Night [Album Stream]

Jeremiah Jae is back with his new album, “A Cold Night”. Says Jeremiah Jae: “A Cold Night” is a collection of new and unreleased songs made over the years in my hometown of Chicago. The theme and tone of this project was inspired by the cold and gritty back drop of the city, both mesmerizing and looming. After taking some time away to recharge creatively, I feel the time is right to start sharing art with the world again. Special thanks to my family, friends, Black Jungle Squad, Habebe, and most importantly You for listening. Take a listen below. A Cold Night by Jeremiah Jae

L’Orange & Jeremiah Jae feat. Homeboy Sandman – Ignore The Man To Your Right [Video]

Deep kick drums, ticking hi-hats, irregular rhythms, and Victrola static all over golden age vocalizations combine to provide the black & white soundscape over which Chicago emcee Jeremiah Jae delivers deadpan lyrics. Stones Throw spitter Homeboy Sandman ties his verbals to the track on the second verse to complete the unsettling song.

Beats bend sinister with imagery aiming for the temples. Jae invokes dark clouds, crowns of thorns and LSD eyes. Bars written in dirt. Samples are disembodied and ethereal. It’s like a grand jury indictment doubling as a Greek chorus. A song title like “Ice Obsidian” says it all. This is frozen lava, black and white celluloid, the spoils won by sinners. Watch your back rap. Or maybe it’s the hip-hop version of the gangster flicks made before the Hays Code—raw and uncensored, deeply artful without pretension. Pitchfork once described Jae as: “a lot of people talk loud and say nothing; Jeremiah Jae finds strength in the inverse.” On “The Night Took Us In Like Family,” he inhabits both eulogizer and executioner. He triumphantly looms over the corpses and explains how this all came to be. L’Orange supplies concrete requiems of dusted soul: beats to crack safes, soundtracks to stealth assassinations.
