THE LORDS OF SOUNDS AND LESSER THINGS - mynameisntjmack
DMV artist mynameisntjmack returns with his follow-up project THE LORDS OF SOUNDS AND LESSER THINGS distributed by Genius distro. When it comes down to it, mynameisntjmack is the definition of trusting the process and building genuine relationships beyond the music. Mynameisntjmack was one of the first few artists we interviewed over here at tooguud and it's amazing to see how far he’s come within two years. His passion and drive to pave out his placement in music have been evident since day one. Beyond all the small life setbacks and re-routing, he’s always managed to continue working towards his manifest destiny.
We are experiencing mynameisntjmack at one of his highest levels of creativity and comfortability going against the popular sound. Executive produced by his longtime collaborator and friend John Whemeyer, the wide range of sound elements, opens the field for mynameisntjmack to express without restrictions.
On “TUCKER,” he talks about his current state of mind and finds appreciation in how things ultimately work in his favor. The hook is very catchy and the soulful harmonies smothered in the background are soothing. His pacing and tonality is compelling, making it easy to digest his message.
On “NODEVELOPMENT” featuring MARCO PLUS; mynameisntjmack confidence bleeds through the writing and cadence is flawless. He’s coming into his own and glides with care over the polished lo-fi production provided by lim0. MARCO PLUS’s delivery is sharp and his use of imagery makes it allows audiences to paint pictures behind his words.
“THEMOONLANDINGWASFAKE” shows mynameisntjmack disbelief towards his new sense of notoriety. He reflects on his friends passing him by and dealing with the urge of trying to catch up with them. The feature by KADOLEAF is grounding and meshes well with mynameisntjmack metaphoric delivery.
The jazz sample on “DOVE$BLEED” is enchanting and provides the perfect atmosphere for him to unpack his current internal battles.
“Have you ever seen doves cry?”
The beauty in this question connects directly to the messaging of the project. Doves don’t cry but it's the loud noise of pain that’s released from them that allows humans to imagine their deep sorrow. It's the same with mynameisntjmack, he has a graceful way of showing pain without making listeners feel bad for him. He never shows too much, while at the same time not showing too little.
Production credits are held by aebeats, Stoicbeats, lim0, 8een, Charliep, drachemusic, Gutty, and Johan Lenox. Resting at a duration of 25 minutes, the project also includes stunning features from Dre Wave$ and Tommy Richman. Before the release of his project, mynameisntjmack released a single with Tommy Richman called “BUNKER/PREROLL,” which had a great buzz on TikTok and flooded the music blogs. mynameisntjmack is here and keeping the pressure!
