Get Familiar With Maryland Rapper Jaco & His New EP, ‘Pure Soul’

The idea of staying consistent in your craft is often viewed as a cliche, but it’s absolutely necessary in a space like the music industry. Known as a, “What have you done for me lately?” industry, the fans and executives alike are fickle and impatient, often leading to people having a new favorite artist or album every two weeks. Looking to get past that, rising Maryland emcee Jaco has been very consistent with his output this year. After already releasing one of the year’s surprise standouts in January, he returns with his engaging new EP, Pure Soul.

Clocking in at 7-tracks, Pure Soul finds Jaco completely baring his soul, rhyming about the mountain of topics on his mind. Taking advantage of crispy production that sounds tailor made to his vocals, the Maryland rapper takes no breaks over the 22-minute project, resulting in a passionate, engaging performance that helps each line cut a little bit harder. Songs like, “Relate,” and, “Smooth,” serve as perfect examples of this, with the former serving as the project’s intro, eagerly introducing you to what you’re about to experience throughout the project.
