J57, of the Brown Bag AllStars collective, is well known for his production prowess, as well as for spitting a hot verse here and there, so it’s no surprise that Wax Aesthetic, the free EP from the Long Island/Brooklyn representative, would be a smooth mix of great music and wordplay.
Passing off production duties to other fine beatsmiths such as Exile, DeeJay Element, PJ Katz, Wally Sean (and, on one track, himself), J57 continues the long streak of solid material from anyone who flies the BBAS banner. A few interesting featured appearances add to the appeal.
We hear his upcoming project with Brown Bag cohort Koncept is something to eagerly anticipate as well, so stay tuned.
Wax Aesthetic was a “Pick of the Week” on Episode 078 of The NY Hip Hop Report, New York hip hop’s #1 talk radio show.
