John Wells & Elijah Who - That Much Bread On Me (EP)
With the success of his critically acclaimed album, “The Apprehension Of John Wells,” John Wells had been warmly enjoying the accolades received due to the love and support from his fans that include a Lyrical Lemonade feature, a mention in Rolling Stone & performing alongside Freddie Gibbs and most recently Reason on tour. In cases like this, you would think after having an intensive year of hard work being accomplished, John would want some rest but no, as the Baltimore native would gear up for the new year by releasing a new EP titled “That Much Bread on Me” with production by Elijah Who, who fit together like Hall & Nash with prestigiously perfecting the right ambiance for John to conquer. The combination they deliver is biblical, and every ounce of enjoyment is celebrated repeatedly with the prominent listening experience they bring.
Coasting over this jazz influence beat for the intro, “Hit Em Up”, John Wells states if hate were converted into dollar bills, then he would be racking in millions, he proceeds to throw an excellent job toward Jada in regards to the Pac situation before bringing attention to his life journey and where things are currently at in a personal reflection. The next leg in life is upon him, and he knows more sacrifices are to be made and is prepared for what lies ahead. Everything he’s been right has got him this far and there is no room now to turn back around. Still, John has been dealing with the doubtfulness that some days brings which happens to champions on occasion, but filljng the void back with the lifestyle of winning should put his mind back to where it belongs. Elijah Who is crazy for this “I No Longer Attend That Many Social Affairs” beat, shit is too harmonious and yet deserves to be plugged in with word of persistence by John Wells, who goes over the accomplishments he’s achieved and the motivation to double down on them. He’s barely scratched the surface of his goals, so if the hate is coming, better start it now. John Wells is joyous in these records, still hungry with the ability to lyrically run rabid on the beats with feelings of enthusiasm in the background. Consciously speaking from the soul and building artistic expression with the heart, this is a new form of John Wells to take in. Every record highlights his current emotions, not discussing the past but the forward-thinking he has planned for the future. His outro, “Long Live Whiteboy” sounds like something meant for Hov’s Reasonable Doubt, storytelling to the masses in high regency flowing, almost feel like you’re stuck in the situation that he’s rapping and reliving it at the moment. Linking with Elijah Who for this five-record serving felt like a feast to enjoy over and over again, not one dull moment, but has there ever been a situation like that regarding John Wells. His pen is mightier, wielding a series of flourishing moments throughout the project, only proving his story has more to be said, and we’re here to see it to the end.
As mentioned before, John Wells is on a streak of wins currently, and I’m sure it’s expected to happen all year. What is next to come? I’m sure he has an idea for that ready to be announced. He’s already dropped his signature visualizer for one of the singles, but I’m hoping one of them gets a visual treatment in the future. As always, we highly recommend anything with John Wells attached to it gets played and supported always, you can thank us later.
