One of the most enigmatic names in jazz hip hop these days, New York-born, North Carolina-based pat junior is confidently taking over the Internet one song at a time. The Grammy Award-winning artist, producer, and emcee gives off the chillest vibe ever, and every time I see a video of him and his band (The Gold Fang Society) on social media, I end up completely mesmerized by their performance and an endless loop repeat.
"nothing to lose" offers a dynamic and perpetual energy that beautifully bounces between pat junior's tireless delivery and Tecoby Hines' sultry, soulful vocals. All that layered on a tight jazz instrumental that serves as an ultra-adhesive glue. "Music for the new Tony Hawk Pro Skater?", Pat jokes, but honestly, as someone who lost countless nights to THPS 2 back in the early 2000s, I totally get it.
