Please share your thoughts!
About January Elh: January Elh is an Alternative Pop singer & songwriter, born in St. Louis, MO, USA. His sound is somewhat eclectic, lightly peppered with very particular influences. His singing voice is youthful & brave, yet of an unpolished, high-baritone flavor.
Elh dabbled with Rap as a preteen, & committed to music creation as a Rap artist in late 2007, being inspired largely by Lil’ Wayne’s prolific mixtape era. Despite positive local response in Kansas City & St. Louis of his two ‘Sunset Radio’ mixtapes(2008-2009), he decided to no longer take part of the genre. After much self-study & contemplation, he found it too limiting for himself, & that it was almost as if he was trying to impress a crowd that he didn’t like.
With a small amount of Rap-influence intact, he decided upon Pop music, due to the types of music that he remembered hearing from video games & cartoons as a child, as well as heavier, time-tested songs from the past that he’s heard as an adult.
1. The raw noise that sounds like a needle touching the vinyl.
2. The melodic and fully expletive chorus
3.The beat knock on every punchline
4. The reality rap and wordplay
5. The new flow
“I’m too fucking busy to drive stick”
Who says that? ha!
“Everybody yelled surprise, I wasn’t surprised”
Drake is really spitting hard reality on this track, so you have to appreciate it. You actually believe him when he is spitting.. it seems so honest while most other rappers (especially new ones) sound like they are trying too hard to sound believable.
