Baby J FTP 2 – Fight The Power LP
Whilst Baby J has only been known by most until recently, “FTP 2 – Fight The Power” is in fact his third album. Not to mention his recent mixtape and collaboration album with Blade. Baby J has carved his name as not only a dope producer, but now it would appear, as a fairly prolific one.
FTP2 is a beautifully varied album, with an array of not only different emcees, but also mad different production vibes. Whilst you’d think this would lead to an album which doesn’t have a valid signature of the producer throughout, this isn’t the case. From the dark and depressing feeling of “Deal With It” to the crazy funk of “You Think Your Cool” or even the piano barebones of “School Days”, J adapts his skills to each sound, making it his own. The presence of emcees like Fallacy, Dynamite MC and Yogi may not be as ‘big time’ has the first FTP album, but nearly all the featured acts hold there corner as they should.
Don’t see this as merely a compilation of emcees to make a producer look popular; FTP2 is an album within its own right with no mixtape feel. After so many killer beats on so many different projects, it’s about time people started to admit, that Baby J is one of the best producers in the UK at the moment.
