“The Essence” is a gritty track aimed at hip-hop music purists and aficionados that have watched the sound of the “boom bap” go from sugar to s**t over the turn of the century. With help from Coney Island’s own Torae and the OG from “Never Ran, Never Will,” Brownsville team up with the Pennsylvanian to show the younger generation the root of where today’s Hip-Hop originates. PremTouch dishes out some supreme production for this track and the trio take full advantage.

J.B. also recently dropped the video to the sophomore track, “Gemini,” from The Pursuit Of Happiness, which has been featured on several top rated hip-hop blogs including ThatsEnuff, TheSource, JackThriller and more.

While the rest of the hip-hop community is at SXSW, J. Bair is busy serving up new singles, and preparing the remainder of his 2016 campaign. Listen below to “The Essence” and stay tuned for more solid tunes coming your way before summer!
