Jeremiah Jae is one of Chicago’s most secret and most interesting weapons. The Brainfeeder rapper-producer feels very much to be channeling his inner Blu, maybe on his Jesusalbum. “The Heat” sure has a slow burn, but burn it does: the beat is a beautiful, jazzy waltz of sampling and Jeremiah compliments it well with some slow, stoned bars that let occasionally poignant snippets of his life poke through. It’s stunning what some of the shortest possible phrases can do: “Stove on, mom gone, tryna keep the lights on,” he raps, revealing the title’s true meaning. He doesn’t spit it with much difference in his voice; it’s all just a part of the all-Jeremiah Jae collage.
