Underrated Artist of 2012

   The year is almost about to end usually at the end of year we reflect on what has gone down. This year we have been seen a lot of great work from artists such as Frank Ocean, Miguel, Lupe Fiasco, Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar, Sean Price, Nas, and Ryan Leslie. Those artists are getting the love that they deserve this year they all put out incredible pieces of work, but I wanted to talk about an artist that I believed that got slept on. Now I’m not going to lie to you I also slept on this artist as well I came to the party late.


 JMSN

   The underrated artist of 2012 is Christian Berishaj aka JMSN who at the beginning of the year released his debut album Priscilla. I came across JMSN couple of months ago when Game released his playlist for his album Jesus Piece I was looking at the guest features I knew everybody expect JMSN. So I Google JMSN and he comes up on djbooth.net and his album is carrying a 4.5 rating from listeners. After reading the reviews on the site I began to listen to the album and I was blown away and the album has stayed on my rotation since that was two months ago.

     Now his music is very unique it has a blend of neo-soul, R&B and Trip Hop there has been some comparison to The Weeknd which is easy to assume because their music is “Dark R&B”. If you had to make a comparison it would be a mixture of Frank Ocean, Justin Timberlake, and The Weeknd. JMSN produced and wrote the entire album by himself and early this week announced that he is working on his next album the Blue Album and he is doing a collaborative album with Ab-Soul. Next year is looking like a big year for JMSN whose stock will continue to rise. Like the listeners on djbooth I’m giving the album a 4.5 as well only blemish on the album was the guest feature Boldy James who just came off lazy on “Girl I use to know”.
