Song Review | DrxQuinnx – [JEWEL]


This music video was uploaded on April 15th this year. I feel like DrxQuinnx has been releasing more music than usual lately, and I have a feeling that he’s gonna continue dropping even more throughout the year. I have to be completely honest; out of all the solo songs I’ve covered from him so far, I think this one right here might be my favorite. The beat is more straightforward than that of a song like Gorgeous for example. However, the loop itself is just so fire that it works to its benefit. The drum pattern is also really nice. I love this beat. I think this is my favorite beat that I’ve heard from DrxQuinnx honestly. His verse over it is great too. As always, his flow and vocal delivery just sound really great. His voice is really expressive on this joint. I almost kinda got slight ZelooperZ vibes from the way he delivered certain lines, but it’s nowhere near as over the top and difficult to take seriously. My favorite line was probably that one about how his bed of nails is more comfortable than any mattress. That was hard. To me this kinda sounds like some classic underground shit from the late 2000s and/or early 2010s. I could definitely see MF DOOM or Open Mike Eagle spitting over this beat. The song’s less than two minutes long, so you don’t really have time to get tired of it before it ends. I like it as a single, and I think it would work even better in the context of a full project, so I’m excited to see what comes out next. Check this shit out and let me know what you think in the comments below. I think it’s dope.
