J-Quiz's New EP, 'The TV Tape'


J-Quiz released his new EP project, "The TV Tape", with amazing vibes and soothing production. "The TV Tape" was everything I expected, real Hip Hop. The EP theme was "oldies", and it was well executived, gaving me an old school vibe. This six track EP is something I can be jaming to.
"The TV Show (Intro)" gave me Frank Ocean's "Channel Orange" intros with the television introductions. Most of the intros were 90's television shows, like Hey Arnold and Martin. A great start to the EP.
"Oldies" produced by Relta Beats was feeding off of "The TV Show (Intro)". The track was about watching old school television shows and listening to old school music, basically the good old days. This track is relatable to anybody because those were the days that were just carefree and stressless. I mean everybody missed those 'good ole days' when families would just gather around the television and watch sitcoms.
"Overrated" produced by ICDMAW wasn't that intriguing to me maybe because I didn't care for the subject matter but the lyrics were on point. 
   
"Like That" gave me a Snoop Dogg 90's vibe, but it also reminded me of Schoolboy Q, maybe because of the add libs. This track was almost perfect, I would just love a female singer to place to harmonies in the background.

"Feel Good" produced by Cam was about feeling good, sexually. Well the lyrics speaks for itself. That's all I have to say.

Now last be not least is "SAMO" produced by ICDMAW. From my knowledge "SAMO" was the first single off of this mixtape and I wrote of my blog that I loved the track, but it doesn't fit in this mixtape. It shouldn't even be on this mixtape, period. It actually killed the whole vibe of the project and made me want to play back the rest of the mixtape. The song was great, lyrically and production wise it was an 10/10. The intro itself was intriguing and entertaining; I enjoyed it. I wish J-Quiz would of just not added it.

Overall J-Quiz's EP, "The TV Tape" was a feel good mixtape that gave off a old school vibe throughout the EP (excepted "SAMO"). I enjoyed listening to the EP and thought it was very creative. I hope to hear more from J-Quiz.
