Mr. J. Medeiros: The Art Of Broken Glass EP

From the uplifting and soulful “Love Is All” through the funky horn stabs of “Broken Windows,” The Art of Broken Glass is a much more traditional hip-hop release from Mr. J. Medeiros, formerly of the Procussions. As he said himself, it’s a gritty, dusty, and unpolished collection of tracks. But don’t get it twisted – this is anything but your typical hip-hop EP. Instead, it builds on Medeiros‘s style as it injects progression into the genre’s boom-bap roots. He also continues to flex his storytelling skills, which continue to expand and impress, on “The Measure.”

The Art of Broken Glass is solely produced by Boonie Mayfield, who laces the EP with jazzy, head-nodding beats. The EP features the gorgeous vocals of Tara Ellis on “Love Is All” while Jonathan Korsyzk’ adds somber tones to the hook of “The Measure.” Also featured is DJ Inka One, who cuts up the chorus for “Broken Windows.”
