Jamal J. has released a new album, Babilu (Redition). The Maryland artist has demonstrated a penchant for poetic, detail-rich lyricism across albums like Nothing 2 See Here, Hope 4 Luv, and more- backed by cinematic, evocative production. His eclectic, often atmospheric take on hip-hop, and abstract, dense lyricism gives his work a surreal edge, while simultaneously tackling poignant real-life issues. His latest record, Babilu (Redition), is understated and refined, and yet epic in scope- featuring deep verses that draw from history as well as predicaments plaguing the present day, set to a series of ethereal, soulful instrumentals.

Dream-like, hazy opener "Kudos" sets a meditative mood to begin the record, equipped with expansive strings and pensive keys that underscore Jamal J.'s reflective, complex verses. "Folly"'s jazzy, smoky instrumentation and low-key, yet confident, sleek lines evoke imagery of writing in a dimly lit room- while "As Above So Below" soars with its soulful guitars, other-worldly keyboards, and bars that float smoothly overtop. "Four Men" emanates a sense of depth with its looming, sonically rich production and sharp, imagery-rich vocals. The track "Sky" adds further versatility with an experimental approach, featuring airy reversed samples and diverse vocals with psychedelic melodies. Later in the track-list, "Fruit Bearing Tree" makes for a highlight, with orchestral, warm production that sets a captivating backdrop for Jamal J.'s narrative-based verses.

Jamal J.'s latest album Babilu (Redition) feels cinematic in scope and vision, with each track offering much to unpack both sonically and thematically. As a listening experience, it feels like a journey into another space and time, while simultaneously remaining grounded in the zeitgeist of today in its approach and lyricism.
