专辑简介

Distance is defined as a description of how far apart objects are. Physically the duo is about 925 miles apart. Musically they’re next door neighbors. 1221’s debut release “Inches” looks to redefine current hip hop perceptions while bringing back some of that vibe you might have missed. Jersey’s words speak true to his namesake. Raised through the Golden Age of Hip Hop music on the East Coast, he developed his style after studying some of the great MCs of the time. New York was buzzing and Jersey soaked it all in. Over the years he’s developed as an artist, a lyricist, a poet and a musician. His infusion of Rock, Jazz and Soul speaks volumes to his dedication to his craft, and it displays prominently over “Inches’” 21 tracks of Hip Hop splendor.

Ben Bounce lays the soundtrack from the middle of the map. Styles reflect elements from all over the musical spectrum and add the canvas for Jersey’s lyrical masterpiece. The musical architect behind i-Disciple’s “The Compass” returns to assault the ears from all angles and brings the beast out of one of the East Coast’s best kept secrets. After 6 years in the making, 1221’s “Inches” is a must hear for those with an ear for Hip Hop or music in general.
