Single Review: JR Venem -- 'Smoke in a Barrel'

Posted by Filthy Riché on


Toronto based rapper, JR Venem is driving his message to listeners through his underground rap music. His out-of-the-box sound and uniquely styled lyrics give him a creative edge.  He recently released a freestyle track with a fire beat entitled "Smoke in a Barrel". On this joint, his flow is non-traditional -- he raps just over the beat which keeps listeners on their toes and gives his delivery a laid back vibe.
