Live Review: LISTEN: Jay Prince ‘I Stay On My Cool’ (Stwo Edit)

20-year-old Parisian producer STWO is no stranger to making particularly polished tracks. Especially when it comes to revamping them.

20-year-old Parisian producer STWO is no stranger to making particularly polished tracks. Here for Future Classic's VIVID LIVE party at the end of May, the artist is fast becoming a noted name in house and laid back hip hop.

Piling this track in particular with crisp samples, killer beats and a surprisingly complex pairing of the two, this time, it’s not really any different. If anything, it may be more than before. And what is more, you may ask? Well, literally everything is more.

Smoother, bigger, quicker, harder-hitting and fuller, STWO has found a way to encompass it all into a track that still manages to make the sampled vocals of JAY PRINCE quite prominent. It’s easy to see that it’s certainly intended to be perceived that way. Subtle tone changes paired with sudden beats, and a trap kick like not much else, sit underneath the crisp vocals, and eventually heighten to match the intensity of the two sounds.

It’s rad to hear songs constantly being reinvented, but it’s even more rad to hear such an inspired version, like STWO’s of JAY PRINCE’s already killer smooth original.
