Superior production with new sounds accompanied by swinging beats are
all in stock in this calibrated offering by underground rhyme master MC,
Nicky Jam. Leaving production duties to production mavericks such as Eliel,
DJ Joe and Nelly this is an album intended for serious dancing. Nicky
Jam's talent lies in his magnificent skills as a rhymer that can also
do some singing. Tracks such as the deceptively simple "Loco"
produce a hypnotic effect that show that when is done right a slower beat
can be far more sensual and sexier than anything else. "Vive Contigo"
with its swagering rhymes and relentless 4/4 beat recalls the energy of
Daddy Yankee's "Gazolina" without resorting to imitate it's
now famous chorus. Elsewhere, "Sacando Chispa" featuring David
Deambulante is built around a strong Reggaeton beat guaranteed
to make everyone move. Vida Escante is Basically a record with its eyes
placed firmlly on the dance floor. With a rich combination of dancehall
beats with some dub, merengue and hip hop thrown in the mix, it avoids
the cardinal sin of sounding repetive. With Vida Escante now under his
belt Nicky Jam seems certanly ready to come out of his cult status and
step into the spotlight.
