Wordsworth (of eMC) & JSOUL – Satellite [Audio]

NYC freestyle stalwart and eMC rhymesayer Wordsworth connects with Baltimore producer JSOUL on the upcoming HiPNOTT Records release, Blame It On The Music. When asked about the project, Wordsworth said, “Once I heard JSOUL’s beats, the diversity caught my attention. Immediately my mind start racing with ideas and we started vibing to make something solid. We decided on the title ‘Blame It On The Music’ because it seems like the music is another excuse for society. Instead of a healthy dialogue just blame the culture of the youth.” Wordsworth continued by mentioning, “HiPNOTT Records represents quality and integrity of music. It’s a home for artists and producers creativity but a movement of motivation.” Their stark cohesiveness is put on full display on the new single, “Satellite.” JSOUL provides a wicked baseline and alluring vocal sample as the perfect backdrop for Wordsworth’s vivid poetics that serves as a reminder that the struggle is real is this Cold Cold World. Blame It On The Music drops September 23rd. Pre-order your copy now on compact disc or mp3 and receive an immediate download of the first two singles (“Blame It On The Music” and “Satellite”).

That head nod, that feel good, that real.” On his new remix project, ‘JSOUL Remixed It’, JSOUL pays homage to that time and attempts to be a bridge from the music lovers of his generation to the future generation of hip hop heads. “I wanted cats from my era to hear these re imagined songs and fall in love with the songs all over again. Take them back with new beats and never lose the integrity of the song. I wanted to match each artists feel perfectly but with
