Mixtape: JFin


Marathon Sh*t - JFin

I know some of you may be wondering why I haven't posted the link yet. Well besides being busy I'm waiting on JFin to send me the video answering the questions I had for him. Friday, JFin released his kind of anticipated mixtape InFINity [And Beyond] (I 'fin' isn't really capitalized but I liked the way it looked). First and foremost, JFin reps 8 mile...the Southfield side and he admits it on the intro track "Infinity and Beyond". I can't really think of who to compare him too because on some tracks he sounds like Chuck Inglish of the Cool Kids, then his delivery style switches to sounding like someone I haven't pinpointed yet. He samples Frankie Beverly and Maze's "We Are One" but classic sounds don't really define this mixtape either, many tracks have electronic/futuristic beats which has been seen in a lot of mixtapes this year. I know it seems that I'm saying it jumps around a lot, but it really doesn't, lyrically JFin is pretty good and it's more cohesive than you'd think. There are some feature artists, however, they aren't listed when you download the mixtape (or if you have a hard copy like I do), so that bothers me a little bit.

Overall: Infinity and Beyond is something you should definitely have in your iTunes library, it's worth the listen.
