Jonwayne’s 2017 release Rap Album Two arrives on Alpha Pup, a label known for its discerning taste in underground hip-hop and experimental beats. Across twelve tracks, the Los Angeles-based artist weaves jazz-inflected rhythms with introspective lyricism, revealing a nuanced approach to the genre. The album’s production favors dusty drum breaks and mellow keys, while Jonwayne’s voice alternates between deadpan delivery and moments of raw emotion. The featured track “Blue Green” exemplifies the record’s blend of jazz rap sensibility and off-kilter indie influences, underscored by a subtle yet persistent groove. Other titles like “TED Talk” and “Live From The Fuck You” deliver sharp-edged narratives over sparse, deliberate arrangements. With nearly a million Last.fm scrobbles, Rap Album Two maintains a quiet resonance among underground hip-hop aficionados, marking a distinct chapter in Jonwayne’s catalog and the 2010s West Coast scene.
