Before I even get into any detail as to what this project is and what it conveys, just know I’ve been sitting on this, listening to it everyday since the 15th, and now I am finally posting it up on the site.

Jamil Kelley (Jmil Kly) represents a new breed of Artistry out of Dallas, Texas.. Born on May 2, ’88, he was born and raised in Dallas with the perspective of an observer carrying an ambitious spirit. He is the product of a single parent household and has two siblings. He is currently a Philosophy and Film student at the University of North Texas. Music became an important asset in his life early in the year of 2009. He began rapping and writing lyrics for his debut mixtape Flomogenic, later released in May of 2010. After the moderate success that followed from local critics and peers, he began preparing for his debut EP, NEOTokyo. Which inherited a new sound influenced in Jamil by several artists such as, Kanye West, Afta-1 and Flying Lotus. He plans on building off of the release to further his career and influence others as he himself was influenced.

Jamil Kelley, a.k.a. Jmil Kly, has created an EP that is full of greatness. Each track on The Boy King is able to stand on its own and make you want to vibe out to it. There’s a track on the EP titled, Fever, that is an amazing feeling of calm R&B mixed with a few experimental sounds. Aside to the sound that the track conveys, the lyrics go in! The track is descriptive in the way it tells of a moment in time, waking up in the middle of the night, sweating, and what is going on in the mind of Jmil.

“I’m feelin’ similar to Kurt Cobaine when he blew his brains all over the furniture…”

It is honestly hard to put this project into words, it is that good. Jmil has definitely put a ton of time and effort into making this project and it shows in each an every track. Don’t allow yourself to pass up a listen on a project that will blow you away. You are able to listen and download the entire project below.
