J Leake's 2nd album "Jeremy Leake" is a much more personal and soulful record then it's Big Brother "Chips N Salsa." The production is sample based with a variety of sounds. Ranging from Soul samples to Madonna samples to Jazz to dark to Musiq Soulchild to Motown. The beats were handled by 2 of Sacramentos up and coming young producers Kevin "So Crates" Sauer and Jeff "Sour Beats" Sauer.
The lyrics waver from playful to emotional to thoughtful to controversial yet still seem to
all contain a little humor. Clever word play and lyrics that make you laugh are something you will always find on a J Leake album but this record really let's you get to know Jeremy.
He Covers such subjects as graduating high school one day and being 25 the next day,
being a single father, drug addiction, past friendships gone bad and much more.
When he's not reflecting on his personal life he's finding clever ways to remind you that he is better than you lol. Although J Leake is a very confident artisit, he is insecure at times and does not try and keep that a secret. That's one thing I really like about him, when you listen to his music you never feel like your listening to some rapper who's immune to reality. He's very aware that he's just another talented person with big dreams. With that said there is something special about him and this album is yet another reminder that J Leake is an emerging artist with star quality and a down to earth demeanor that few with this much talent embody.
