Sean J – The Ego Egg

Written by Janaki. Published: Friday, December 17, 2010.

If you haven’t heard something from Sean J yet this year, you just haven’t been paying attention. The Hawaii born Orlando resident has been steadily releasing solo and collaborative projects and putting in work to make sure people hear the work he puts in.

His latest offering comes in the form of the The Ego Egg mixtape. Stream it above, download it here and keep up with Sean J via Twitter and SeanJissomean.com

What he wants you to know:

In the past year, Sean J has dropped a free full length album and a mixtape with his colleague. Wait! The year isn’t over. The Ego Egg Mixtape, presented by Flip Them Guys & Domination Recordings, is Sean J’s way of ending this year with a bang. The title of the project is a spun off of his last solo mixtape, The Ego Has Landed (his last effort before his 2 year hiatus). This mixtape features production from his long time partner Nine Six (formerly known as Epidemmik), his current melodic brother Soy is Real, and the creative sample-selector Unselftitled.

“On my albums, I’m very polite as far as the direction I take,” says Sean, “I usually just fill it with content. My lyricism won’t be that technically complex. It will be very direct. If I have witty lines, the content of it isn’t so harsh… But on mixtapes, especially a one with this title, I throw all of that out of the window. I go all out. Its all about wordplay, raw punchlines, patterns, cadences, etc… The braggin’ type of raps are needed every now and then. That’s a part of hip hop! Yes, it should be balanced out. So consider this the extreme of it.”

The three main singles “Unstoppable”, “Talk About (She Says)”, and “Elevate” balance out different approaches of his lyricism. Matter in fact, he isn’t the only one mouthing off… He came with a few friends. There’s guest appearances from TZariZM & MidaZ the BEAST (both from Doxside Music Group), Shinobi Stalin (Civil Mics, Vets of Kin), and guest production by the brazil-native Mental Abstracto (Domination Recordings). Let The Ego Egg be a introduction to Sean J’s new year plan, including his next album A Man of Means.
