October Jonez

Unless you count Shad Moss fka Bow Wow — which natives weirdly would rather not — Columbus, Ohio has yet to really have anyone really put them on the map, musically. The closest thing to that, right now, would probably be Fly.Union — most notably Jerreau, who is finally beginning to gain the traction he should have gained a long time ago. Nevertheless, the field is certainly wide open.

Enter October Jonez and his latest joint, titled “Get U Sum”, a collaboration with fellow Columbus emcee Taco Ve’l, who has been featured here on RESPECT. numerous times.

If you’re one of those people who is tired of all the raps about the money, then I really don’t know what to tell you. You don’t like money? Come on, man. Who doesn’t like money? I like money. And apparently October and Taco do too, as that is the very theme of this trappy new banger.

The level of balance on this song is what makes it such a good listen. In the first verse, you get October Jonez who comes through with a rather frantic flow, then Taco Ve’l throws in his verse, which initially is in his signature, mellow style. But then, even he turns up a little. Not to mention, the hook is catchy and will be in your head all day. “Hoppin’ out the Uber/Pockets lookin’ like a Brinks truck!”
