[RH Premiere] Jarred A.G.: Luxury Tax
After both a First Listen on Jarred A.G.'s single "Play Around" and a First Look on the emerging Chicago act, we're now proud to premiere his debut project Luxury Tax. Featuring appearances from Dally Auston and Ibn Inglor, there is a presence of youthful Chicagoans imbued in the tracks. Couple that with fire production from Jarred's brother and frequent collaborator Smoko Ono, as well as C-Sick, Samiyam and Benny Nice. After experimenting with hip hop for only "a year and a half", he's got an extensive catalog, and the Luxury Tax EP is seemingly only the tip of the iceberg. The six track EP comes across as a cohesive product and is a great introduction to the young artist. Listen below and stay on the lookout for more from A.G.

RH First Look: Jarred A.G.
Native Chicagoan Jarred A.G. recently dropped the first track off of his debut Luxury Tax titled "Play Around". Featuring Dally Auston, the laid-back, snare snapping production comes from his younger brother Smoko Ono. The track acts as a great representation of A.G.'s spot in Chicago hip hop right now. Working with other up-and-comers, he has positioned himself as an intriguing new artist that's building a name through quality releases and dope collaborations.
This current positioning is evidence of a strong progression as an artist. No longer do does his material go up because of the potential, rather it is due to the merit of his work and how sharp his new material sounds. Now he is on the verge of dropping his first project to date, a six track EP that is just a taste of what's to come. When asked about his debut album Stepchild, he told us that he has " files and files of music that we’ve worked on and are still working on". What does this mean for fans and listeners? We sat down with the young artist to get a better idea of things to come, the work he's done in the last year and where he's at now.

[RH First Listen] Jarred A.G.: "Play Around"
Jarred A.G. has been quietly working for the past year and a half to amass a strong catalog of music, he has been eager to release. During that time we heard tracks come from him and the Fifth Dimension Collective, piquing our interest for the up-and-coming local emcee. Now he is on the verge of releasing his debut project, The Luxury Tax EP, and comes through with the debut track, "Play Around" featuring Savemoney's Dally Auston and produced by Jarred's younger brother Smoko Ono. The smooth production picks up on a dope sample, adding mellow synths and some snappy drums to create the perfectly laid back base to flow over. Read on to learn more about the track and to catch a preview of our upcoming First Look on A.G.
RubyHornet: When was the track recorded and can you speak on the inspiration behind it?
Jarred A.G.: Play Around was recorded a couple months ago at LPeezy studios. Shout outs to Papi Beatz. Smoko first played the beat for me about half a year ago and mentioned how he wanted me to work with his friend Dally, this MC has was producing for, (go cop The Wood). The beat itself reminded me of a lazy Sunday morning in bed and that was the atmosphere I was trying to create on the song. Fast forward a couple months later and Dally came through to the studio, and we went right to work. After we heard it, it was like damn, we gotta do some more work together.
RubyHornet: How would you describe the collaborations that go on with artists from other sets then?
Jarred A.G.: It’s always good vibes. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a lot of talented artists who all share the same passion for music that I do. The chemistry between Dally and I is natural, and he’s easy to work with. Smoko really brought us together through the music and we’ve continued to collaborate since. We’ve got a couple more tracks on deck. I don’t see the collaborations slowing down anytime soon.
RubyHornet: Any other Savemoney x FDC collaborations we should know about?
Jarred A.G.: There are a couple things in the works with Dally, which y’all will hear in the coming months. Shit is crazy, but I don’t want to give too much away. Shout outs to Ibn Inglor, Benny Nice, and Black Ralphy’L for doing their thing with us too, you can expect to hear some work with them very soon.
