I have spent a lot of time keeping tabs on the endeavors of Seattle rapper Nacho Picasso. However today, the spotlight shifts to Nacho's hype man, and fellow Moor Gang member Jarv Dee. The second video to come off Jarv's 13 track album Dopamine, which was released in April, the "Hot Box" video is proof of why Jarv Dee's talents should be generating an amplified amount of interest from the city's music listeners.
The track features the instrumental group Raised By Wolves, who produced the ominous and undoubtedly drug influenced beat. The song is a non stop vocal onslaught from Jarv Dee, who is continuously heard throughout the track. The Seattle up and comer goes hard on each verse, pulling out one punchline after another. The song's chorus lives up to the lyrical standard that each verse sets, "This is the hot box, no windows cracked, we keep them fumes in, like a gas cap, no seat belts, but we all strapped". The track fades out with a haunting outro, as Jarv's voice gets bassed out to the line "adjust the sub in my trunk, so my bass it, so my bass it".
The video to "Hot Box" is a perfect reflection of the track. Just like Jarv Dee's rapping, the video is a non stop visual assault (in a good way). Camera shots constantly change as the viewer catches distorted close up visuals of Jarv rapping alongside his buddy Nacho Picasso and rolling around in his porsche.
Definitely check out the video, and get the free download for Dopamine.
