Returning with their second collaborative project within the past six months Harlem, NY heavyweight G4Jag has cooked up again with Mephux on the beats. The resulting full-length entitled Regressions, boasts contributions from their fellow Lord Mobb brethren Flee Lord, Eto, BVNG’s, Aaqil Ali, Mercy Da Harlem Kid and Trillmatic (from Trillmatic Premium Goods).

Combining G4’s highly introspective and relatable to the have-not’s lyrical narratives over dusted jazz, soul and even samples from Russian sound-sources, it’s that head-nod music for the spirit. Another guest on the album is Mephux’s mother, Olga, who spits some flavor in Russian on the aforementioned joint built with Soviet samples.

Speaking on the album title, the emcee relayed “our last EP was Progression, which was dropped on 9-11 (I always drop a project on that date, I was two blocks away from the Towers when the planes hit, so it’s a form of reverence on my part). This release, Regressions addresses the steps we need for balance, including me as a man, a black-man, a father and as a human.

Recently G4 has been on a tear dropping quality project after quality project in a quick succession. This includes for his own Fly Family imprint as well as for the newly formed super-collective Lord Mobb (under Flee Lord’s banner), Dough Networkz Presents and the Trust Comes First Music Group (38 Spesh’s label). He is also hard-at-work promoting his Fly Family artist Aaqil Ali including his role of executive producer for Ali’s recently released Dirty Spirits album.
