In preparation for their upcoming release entitled 30,000 ft High & Rising, St Joe Louis fuels our impatience with a solid, very dope 6 track EP. The Almost There EP is the end result of pain, death and a series of accidents. These three emcees shine over powerful percussion layered under samples, harmony and grooves. I’m beginning to dislike the term “intro,” in the recent years it become the first track on records that was supposed to get the listener ready for whats to come. Many artists use it as an instrumental opener or some a 15 second interlude with voices and noises. But St Joe Louis does exactly what I feel it should do, smash heads. Especially if you’re an artist whose only primer to new fans is an EP. You must smash heads initially, no time wasted to inform. My personal faves are “Intro”, “Right Away” & “Electric Co.” and the feature heavy “Members Only” Take the time to download and listen, if you feel it please support the artist properly.
Not getting ahead of myself but a Preferred Classics x St. Joe Louis release could be epic. Stay tuned and keep your ears and eyes open.
Stream: “Electric Co” | “Members Only”
