As someone who sets his own trends when it comes to the music he wants to put out there, the Virgin Islands’ own stunning musical creator, Jelani Kendall, has been working hard to craft his signature hip-hop sound with Caribbean influences with the aim of becoming a global star known for creating and singing melodies that are different from what’s being heard in the music industry today. Never one to conform to the hip-hop formula, it’s always exciting to look forward to something surprisingly unexpected from Jelani Kendall’s music.

In its entirety, Kendall’s latest album, “Bush Tea” is a zippy feel-good musical experience that has been terrifically performed, elegantly produced, and lovingly arranged. Following its release on December 21, 2022, Kendall left an indelible mark on both his fervent fans and the bold critics, and there is little wonder why: “Bush Tea” is simply a masterpiece in hip-hop music transcendence!

A tune like “Tipsy” just gets a listener inebriated from the first note. Those beats are just something entirely different, and when Kendall gets hold of the mic, he distills some perfectly tapped Caribbean flows in a manner that suggests that he is no newbie to this kind of craft. The rhymes are thought-provoking, and the melodies are just dance-inducing.

Without breaking much of a sweat, Kendal proves that he is as proficient a singer as he is a rapper in the banger “My Time” which features hypnotic melodies, relatable songwriting, vibrant vocal performance, infectious hooks, catchy melodies, and undeniably excellent musicianship.

I feel that a tune like “Overdue” is just a creative and innovative way to use sound and lyrics to create a seamlessly powerful rhythmic anthem and in a manner that depicts exceptional, unstained beauty!

“Bush Time” is the joint effort of Kendall and V2J, who produced the whole collection, and as he always tells Jelani, “we going up fast”, there can never be any debate when it comes to this top-tier production that meets artistic preparedness for something simply magical!

“Bush Time” offers an emotionally infused, thrilling, sound-driven escapade and authentic piece of work that will continue on its momentum-setting success!
