Jam Young- Jazzy Shit (Higher) Official Music Video

I can't believe it's been almost a year since my last post and my last video. My oh my how life has changed... mostly for the better. For a prime example of this check the video above. It's amazing how god and the higher powers can change your life when you start listening and doing. For so long I've had so many insecurities about music, making it-sharing it (I still do but not as much) and I allowed that to hold me back but not anymore. The video above is a representation of things and ambitions I have always done right and those I haven't. Jazzy Shit (Higher) is one of my oldest songs but it has something, a feel or maybe the lyrics, that I love and which people gravitate towards. I think I wrote the song over 4 years ago but thanks to Alex (who mixed the tape) and some decent old vocals (thanks Ed) the track still sounds fresh. But the video is way fresher. I shot this in chicago with 9 of my closest and dearest friends and it was so much fun. An hour of fun. This is how music videos and music is supposed to make you feel...like you want to have fun. So I hope you enjoy.

Jam Young- Go For Mine Featuring JS1N (Official Video)

"Go For Yours, Like I'm Going For Mine."

After a few months of edits and elongated conversations, "Go For Mine" is officially here. The video above shot in Downtown Houston and in Kartier's (who directed and edited this) Studio. The Video is simple but keeps the roots of Boom Bap and 90's culture alive with tons of graffiti works and gritty settings. The video is also fun and was a great time during the shoot. This song is the only song on "King's Poet" where you can't find the instrumental because I have it.

Funny story actually. Hannibal hit me up after I dropped the "Child of the Blues" Video in February 2013 and said he wanted to work with me (finally). He sent a handful of dopeness but this instrumental made me feel much different. I wrote both verses about a week after purchasing the beat BUT then I lost both verses and managed to remember about half of the first one (which is actually the third verse in the above final version). Since then I haven't received a fresh beat from the man but hopefully I do in the near future. (I.E. "For four years I wanted to work with Hannibal..." - King's Poet)

To add on to that, I wanted Bubbah Styles to be on this song with me. I hit him up and he said he would get back to me (as most rappers say) but no word. Like I said before we must march on, so I thought of a dope lyrical rapper who I had not done a song with yet and JS1N came to mind. I knew him since I was about 18, when he lived in Jersey City. About a week or two later, I heard his verse and I loved it. It certified the song and it allowed me to go to Houston to shoot the video, when about a year after we recorded the song we decided to check out SXSW.

This is probably top 3 lyrical songs on the mixtape and one of the few features so I hope you guys enjoy.
