Jericho Jackson - Overthinking

Jericho Jackson (Elzhi x Khrysis) — Khrysis & Elzhi Are Jericho Jackson

Elzhi raps the way most people wish they could just talk: smooth and effortless, with mind-bending wordplay and clever concepts broken down to their simplest forms.

2016’s Lead Poison was often held back by a lack of sonic cohesion, but this year’s team up with Jamla Records beatsmith Khrysis is a match made in Detroit.

Lush loops cushion stories about teenage life in the streets (“Seventeen,” “Cuffin’ Season”), paranoia and isolation (“F.R.I.E.N.D.S.”) and straight bar fests (“Breguets”).

Elzhi’s been one of the best rappers alive for a minute, but Jericho Jackson is proof that Khrysis has been his perfect foil this whole time.
