Download: Jazz Cartier – Olivier Garden
Remember when Marc told of the story of Jay Artifact’s e-mail with a personal message, which subsequently made Marc take a bit more interest and listen to his music (resulting in him getting posted)? Well, I have one of my own:
Jazz Cartier had been following me on Twitter for a few weeks, and I tweeted something very esoteric that only someone who followed me and took an interest in what I had been tweeting would get. He replied with the correct reference; It impressed me. I was feeling particularly giddy and gracious that day and awarded Mr. Cartier 150 Interwebz Friendz Pointz and a free posting on MJF to use at his discretion for something personal or for a friend or whatever. Let it be known, this isn’t standard MJF practice… However, I was in a great mood. He immediately cashed it in for the first single off his upcoming album Losing Elizabeth (set to drop the first week of September). I’m just glad it was great and wasn’t something as terrible as this.
This track, with its obvious wobbly dub-step influence, allows Jazz to skillfully flow rhyme schemes and show off his comfortable delivery and braggadocio. I must admit that the first four bars made me think of Earl Sweatshirt, but as the song progressed I abandoned that comparison, as Jazz does have his own unique sound. Also, I’m a fucking pro at badminton (2008 Winthrop University Intramural Champion; WHO WANT WHAT?!?!?), so I appreciate that reference to the greatest, though oft-overlooked, leisure sport of all time.
