Jean~Baptiste – “Maybe Next Year”


Haitian-American rapper Jean~Baptiste takes a second to reflect on his imperfections on his relatable new track, “Maybe Next Year.”

An understated soul sample paces the track – similar to Kanye deep cuts from his early discography and production work. Its thoughtful contribution perfectly ties in with Baptiste’s lyrics – gratitude, regret and a yearning to make sure last year’s lessons mean something. Baptiste captures the insecurities everyone feels intermittently – ends can mean beginnings, you just gotta apply the past to the future. “She told me she’s afraid to fail, I said same here.” Add this track to your conscious hip hop and motivational rap playlists.
