Coco Jones wanted to be "fearless" on her debut album Why Not More? and "On Sight" is one that showcases that bold approach. In the case of the third track of 14, it comes into play with her upfront writing. "Said you want somebody that can put it on you crazy / Boy, I'll treat you better, these other b*tches lazy / If you didn't know, baby, I'm the realest," she sings on the pre-chorus.
It gets even more direct on the chorus, "I wanna lay with you all night (Wanna lay) / And after that, let me ride (Ride) / When you say it's on sight (Sight) / Don't lie." Not only does this track set a certain mood, it's also catchy as all hell. That's thanks to Coco Jones dynamic vocal performance.
You like lower and more sensual singing? This track has it. You get a kick out of high pitch deliveries? Coco Jones reaches her upper register and its very satisfying. Overall, you can really the desperation in her voice as she demands her man to tell her exactly what he wants.
Clearly, she's ready for action and it leads to a lot of sexual tension. If we had to pick just one song that we can see being the standout hit, "On Sight" would be it. There are definitely other contenders such as "Taste," "Most Beautiful Design," and of course the already established "Here We Go (Uh Oh)."
But we can see this track getting tons of radio play and future award nominations and possible wins at the end of the day. Coco Jones fans have already been running up the music video, so you join them now. You can press play with the link below.
Quotable Lyrics:
Two of California's longest tenured rappers, E-40 and JasonMartin, are providing wise advice for others. They are doing so on their latest collaboration "Too Much," which is out as of this weekend.
The track belongs to E-40 and it's one of many joint efforts. But this one won't get lost in the shuffle thanks to aforementioned message and theme. "It's too much real sh*t going on / Quit worrying about the fake, n****, yeah, yeah," JasonMartin raps on the sticky chorus.
E-40's unmistakable flow is on full display here as well as he drops truth after truth. "Don't worry about the fake 'cause the hate gon' come with the platе / The peons, they hеlla late, they late like holiday freight / And b*tch, I'm one of the greats and that ain't up for debate (Yep)."
Taking this track up a notch is the addicting instrumental. It's laced with West Coast bounce and a sticky piano melody. Overall, E-40 and JasonMartin's "Too Much" is a standout and deserves a spin ASAP.
For the Bay Area native, this single arrives following a multi-decade spanning NPR Tiny Desk performance. He was brought on to kick off this year's Black Music Month and he delivered for them in every way.
Quotable Lyrics:
As long as you don't try to line me up and stab me in the back (Uh)
As long as you don't try to get me chipped and get a player capped (Yep)
Misery love company, but company don't like misery
Now are we getting along? We better be, we family
I finally figured it out, I think I finally figured it out
Stop making excuses for ninjas and giving 'em the benefit of the doubt
