Tijon "White Noise" Review




Enter Tijon’s world with his new mix-tape White Noise EP. 

White Noise is like nothing else out there right now in hip-hop.  Tijon gets your attention right away with the first track “Pulse.” You can feel his passion for his music through his deep lyrics. 

This project includes 8 tracks and is about 32 minutes in length. In every minute Tijon brings you realness. He tells us lyrically to live life, to be on the grind without letting anyone hold you back. At the end of the track “Wolf” someone says “music ain’t got no soul anymore...” and then you get hit with a soulful sound by the track “Get Back.” It gives us a taste of how music used to be and how it has changed. 

The production on this project incorporates an alternative/indie sound. It is a tranquil listen and one you can definitely vibe to. It is cleverly put together and truly one of a kind. Mixing in some of the old school with the new. Adding in well known samples, combined with Tijon’s flow. Each track falls into another almost like a book, each song is a chapter. 

One of the tracks that really got my attention was “Black Caddy, Dark Shades.”  The instrumental “Im God” by Clams Casino with Lil B really won me over, along with the catchy lyrics. The sample of Imogen Heap used in the beat just adds on to how remarkable this track is. The song has to be one of my favorites’ on the EP along with other tracks. Being a huge fan of Aaliyah, I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the sample of her song “Rock The Boat” in the last track “House of Blues.” 


White Noise makes me look forward to upcoming and future projects.
