I'm excited about duo JP Moregun's debut self-titled tape. The tape 'JP Moregun' falls underneath the BRAINFEEDER/Ninja Tune umbrella, i.e. the mecca for independents putting on for the unordinary, the artists who's styles can purposely unhinge from a coherent in pocket flow and have a certain fluidity to move back in pocket. It features an umbrella of artists who simply burrow in the underground disregarding commercial success or possibly revel in it, staying true to their experimental guns. (So Shout out to Flying Lotus & duo Coldcut for their umbrellas.)

The entire scenes they've individually built is where my musical taste is most comfortable these days, only making me all the more curious as to what Jeremiah Jae and PaulPBDY cooked up on this mixtape.

JP Moregun's 'JP Moregun' project is an intriguing one. The cover art (illustrated by McKay Felt) caught my attention immediately. The art oddly reminds me of the thief atmosphere from anime Lupin III meeting hints of influence from the animation style from Aeon Flux created by Peter Chung, but completely looking like McKay's own. It's a gorgeous cover. McKay Felt told a story through art without using dialogue, just as Chung intended with his animation and I feel that speaks to the music. The 11-track mixtape's 'Honey I'm Home (Intro)' is a soundtrack of scare tactics. 'Street Signs' sounds like a first person redemption tale with life in every word. The bars describe the environment, the fictional and metaphorical moves being made in this music game as well as in life. Someone's coming with a Raekwon-ish flow and cadence on 'Million Bucks'. There is also a very good feature from Niki Randa on 'Coming Back'. As for the rest, I'll let you all discover organically. Just know JP Moregun's mixtape is a hard, mafioso tale with true grit, able to genre blend a lot elements. It's a cold experimental body of work that I can't wait to spend more time with.
