i AM THE FUTURE by Jean~Baptiste: Review
Jean~Baptiste shows us his beastly rap track “i AM THE FUTURE” in a manner only he is able to pull off. The rapper’s spitfire aura is quite an energy boost from the mundane aspects of daily life, and somehow his confidence has an effect on you.
“i AM THE FUTURE” has a passion and drive similar to revvin’ up the engine of a Ford Mustang. The magnitude of the beat arrangement complements the speed and ferocious ability of Jean’s rap verses. I admire how the artist makes every word count and manages to score stellar points on describing his thoughts in song. Power and rhythm flow endlessly on the track, as Jean implements a melodic touch to his rapping prowess. Doing so gave off a vibe about warrior mentality and a soundtrack to success. The instrumental portions of the song are pretty minimal. Mixing synthesizer sequences with some light bass lines did the trick to make the track stand up on its feet.
Worcester native and Tampa Bay area musician Jean~Baptiste has truly created a song with polish and finesse. There are some interesting thoughts Jean had to share regarding the track’s meaning. The song’s opening verse describes the artist’s expectations of what it takes to succeed and the artist’s determination to realize their vision. Then, later on, it speaks about musicians facing the challenges of newfound stardom. Rhythm and poetry have all forms of expression and through the eyes of Jean~Baptiste’s “i AM THE FUTURE”, it feels like a solid one.
