The world may be a gloomy place at the moment, but Jameel Mason is bringing the energy back with his new release 'Quarantine Mami'.

Straight out of New Jersey, Jameel smashes his way to the forefront of hip hop with a release which will have you gripping to it like a rollercoaster handle. It kicks off with a melodic intro lead which glides forward with a dreamy synth lead.

Jameel then greets us with a top-class vocal delivery. He sings about a topic which is close to his heart, and he has a strong fondness for a special one. He sings with confidence, and his message is piercing. Also, cleverly, he directs his poetry straight at his lover, and it almost feels as if it is a conversation with him singing in an upfront fashion.

Accompanying Jameel on his 'Quarantine' adventure is female vocalist, Alix Ford. Vocally, Alix adds a new complexion to the release, and her strong vocal performance is stimulating. Also, she brings a unique and irresistible flavour, and she flips the coin with her bouncing lyrics straight back at Jameel.

Musically, the sound is exciting. It comes with a thumping backbeat which fastens us in, and the myriad of effects which accompany the mix is refreshing. However, I would enjoy a little more variance in the structure as it does not follow a set pattern, as you may have expected from a track in this genre.

Overall, 'Quarantine Mami' is a smash hit release which anyone who loves contemporary hip hop will relish. However, it is not just for modern lovers either. Furthermore, it has plenty of reflective elements with a rhythm which would not sit out of place on a record from yesteryear.
