On the single “Talk Less” South East London rapper J. Eka delivers a bold message about self-confidence without the performative and endless boasting in plenty of hip-hop. With bars from Jatz and production by ETRNL the track and its attendant video is an example of the message in practice. Surrounded by creative beats that deftly interweave texture and atmosphere into the masterful wordplay the lyrics about people who are chasing being a spectacle rather than speaking from a place of integrity and knowledge hit a little harder but without malice. The tone is both direct and introspective and the underlying vulnerability expressed by both J. Eka and Jatz is striking from jump. Watch the video for “Talk Less” on YouTube and follow J.
