The first time we heard from Jon Waltz was with “Bang,” and with that song he showed skills as a 17-year-old that some successful veteran rappers never fully grasp. It was more than just technical rapping skills—Jon balanced a strong melody and song structure with a sensibility that could only come from a kid who probably came up listening to Drake and Kendrick just as much or more than the classic rap sounds that influenced so many of today’s older rappers.
If “Bang” showed Jon’s potential for radio-friendly hit-making ability, his new songs show off something even more impressive: versatility. Check out the two latest tracks from the teenage Memphis rapper.
