]]> Jameison Nothing to Lose VintageThe belief that pressure is necessary for excellence is commonly accepted and endorsed, especially in rap. The logic of this belief is easy to grasp: because pressure encourages innovation, change and competition, the presence of pressure is useful for keeping things fresh. The absence of pressure in this logic is seen as promoting staleness, conservatism and complacence. On “Nothing to Lose,” London rapper Jamieson reminds us that the absence of pressure isn’t always so bad. Rapping with nothing to lose, Jamieson pummels us with aimless rhymes straight from the depths of his psyche. “Aimless” isn’t an insult. Unhindered by a clear goal, Jamieson is able to showcase his lewd wit and his penchant for dizzying, polysyllabic rhymes in both English and Spanish.

While Jamieson‘s lyrics takes the lead, he’s backed by Vintage‘s tightly-looped sample and thudding percussion, which force Jamieson to rap at a noticeably frantic pace. Overall, this song is the musical equivalent of Indiana Jones running from a boulder, but instead of the boulder being a source of anxiety or pressure, it’s just a thing that happens to be behind him. Listen below.
