After over a year spent in a slight creative slump in a crumbling terraced house in Tottenham, Jam Baxter rang his label boss while heavily intoxicated to request they fly him to Bangkok forthwith, to rejoin forces with '...so we ate them whole' producer and engineer, Chemo. After an initial period of understandable hesitancy, the flights were booked and Baxter found himself suddenly regurgitated from the belly of a Jet Airliner into the magical and surreal surroundings of ‘Mansion 38’.
'For A Limited Time Only' is the fourth single to be lifted from the forthcoming 'Mansion 38' LP which is dropping on High Focus Records on the 10th of March 2017 on limited edition vinyl, CD, limited edition cassette tape & digital!
Written by Jam Baxter
Produced by Chemo for KMJ45.com

As I posted above in the video description (my question was answered): After over a year spent in a slight creative slump in a crumbling terraced house in Tottenham, Jam Baxter rang his label boss while heavily intoxicated to request they fly him to Bangkok forthwith, to rejoin forces with '...so we ate them whole' producer and engineer, Chemo. After an initial period of understandable hesitancy, the flights were booked and Baxter found himself suddenly regurgitated from the belly of a Jet Airliner into the magical and surreal surroundings of ‘Mansion 38’.
Baxter & Chemo = 🔥
Chemo is one of the most underrated producers in the world. His knack of combining strange and interesting sounds into a full on beat is amazing
A theme I take from Baxter's work is one of moral equivalency. In this track, while he's obviously commenting on the nature of advertising, I don't feel he's necessarily condemning it morally. He implies equivalency between the exploitative marketing of consumerism and the pull of drugs and crime, while himself comfortably indulging in the excesses of both. Fantastic Man is another great track themed around fashion which illustrates this. He describes himself as having 'blood diamond iris' and a 'crude oil jacuzzi' and even eating 'wafer thin slices of the last Java gibbon'. He is not a so called 'conscious rapper'. On the contrary it's as if he views himself in a race to the bottom against society's own moral depravity... and he loves the ride.
In Eulogy (one of his best tracks imo) he opens with
'I want to be at the table when the swollen world eats itself
Grinning as it's licking the grease from its starving continents
Carving the word 'Par' in my heart as I pass the condiments'
The dire consequences of our reckless, self poisoning civilisation is something many fear, but Baxters lyrics offer the ambivalent, amoral perspective of nature itself: pain and pleasure, both prey and predator. Meanwhile he's just down to 'surf the placenta out of this planet's miscarriage, singing power ballads while I piss acid.' :'D
Love this breakdown, yeah I've never seen Jam as a typically "conscious" rapper, although he's definitely conscious of a lot of things, more so than many! His lyrics and imagery have always resonated with me as somebody who certainly sees the many negatives in society, and care deeply about an inner circle of friends and family, but outside of that can't really bring myself to care about wider issues such as politics and the enviroment and prefer to just focus on living an enjoyable life for me and ensuring those afformentioned few do as well. Jam is an amazing writer, one of the best in my opinion. I love imagery based style and it's certainly an inspiration for my own writing.
Everything jam does is just gold
The best thing about you reacting to Jam Baxter is you haven't even touched the surface or done any of his best songs. You're gonna be mind-blown the more you dig deeper
Jam Baxter tracks are like a very deep puzzle with varying levels of completion for the listener. More listens opens up more and more!
Another great review dude!
Thank you!
I've accidentally stumbled upon this CZcams channel but confess I'm about to rabbit hole it 😂
I'm from the UK and am a massive High Focus fan, I love their view of the world and how they relate that through their music. Listening to your reaction, tells me you've done more than one Jam video and you also see the world as High Focus (and myself) see the world.
I guess I'll just leave a comment on every video I watch, so you can track my progress down the rabbit hole 😂
Love to hear it! Hopefully you enjoy.
@@CanadianDadReacts ok, so I've just finished this video and looked through your channel... I'm gonna be here a while! 😂
You said it “guys a damn genius”. Favourite reaction yet. 👍👊
Thanks, brother
Jam Baxter - Brains one of his best in my opinion
Abso-fuckin-definitely. Everyone's favourite Deep Aquatic Excavator never manages to disappoint.
I love this tune it's a part of my CZcams play list on my PlayStation the sample reminds me of Bladerunner or that type of sci-fi soundtrack, it's just beautiful 😊
This Easter, please bare a thought for my dwindling patients
"Be the best" is a slogan the military uses for recruitment on the TV in the UK. He's still talking about the subtle coercion of advertising, the reference point is just very regional. The "enlist now be the best" line is more in reference to how the military sells you a glorified version of war only to abandon you once you're too old.
Commented this before you said the exact same thing 5 seconds later. Really impressed with your ability to understand this stuff first listen.
@@Blashyrkh1993 Thank you! I guess great mind think alike.
I love going to the cinema in the uk and watch movies on the big screenthe only thing that annoys me is that before every single screening there is a military ad. Just disgusting!
As former military, picked up on this one instantly. Good take
i think a lot like you , also jam songs are pure art , keep up the real reactions mate !
Opening bar on this track is so good. Jam Baxter is next level.
I beg of you to do Jam Baxter - The Stump at some point, aswell as Vines. They're my favorite tracks from him and have absolutely insane mental imagery.
He definitely has The Stump on his list. Soooo many people wanna see him get mind blown 😂
Man, that was by far my favourite reaction. You pulled apart way more than I was able first time.
This album was a slow burner for me when it came out but it's such an incredible piece of work.
Glad you've got some more baxter on your list. 'Just Us' from this album is well worth a listen too, dude. 👌
Hope you're well.
I can't bieve you've never done this already. I know you'll love this track man. Hope your keeping well bro
Welcome to High Focus. Sooo many people missing out on real hip hop.
Came here from your Salsa Valentina review and wondered what you thought, to me this is one of his absolute best.
Yeah, Jam is in his element with this track. Brilliant isn't a strong enough word to describe it.
Good one ! thank you so much
You need to check out Dead Players - Drenching bro
Fuck me that beat is an absolute bed-shitter.
Great video man! One of my favourite songs and beats ever, you should react to wastewater by Edward scissortongue
Another good reaction, jam Baxter along with four owls and coops are by far on the highest lyrical level right now.
Another few songs you should defo listen to are
Coops - exclusive bars 1 or 2
Coops and Rex - back2back freestyle
Four owls coops and Rex - Pass the mic
Jam Baxter - Brains
Should 100% react to these when you get the chance guaranteed no disappointment
fliptrix dropped an album today and new single vibes prod chemo check it out
Please do Banana Shaped Armoured Plates by Jam.. very conscious and deep, I think you will enjoy thoroughly.
