IJC’s “Vanity” doesn’t rush you. It pulls you in slowly, asks you to listen closer, and then lets the weight of its ideas settle. As a teaser for an upcoming album rooted in ancient Hebrew wisdom literature, the track feels intentional from every angle, sound, structure, and message all moving with purpose.

Everything is dialed in. The production is clean and thoughtful, giving the beat enough space to breathe while still hitting with quiet authority. Nothing clashes here; each element complements the next, creating a smooth foundation for the lyrics to take center stage. It’s hip-hop, but not boxed in, layered with cultural textures and subtle shifts that reflect the global reach of the ideas being explored.
“Vanity” leans into deep reflection. Inspired by the writings of an ancient Hebrew poet whose words have traveled across centuries and continents, the song explores meaning, emptiness, and the tension between worldly pursuit and lasting wisdom. IJC approaches the subject with academic depth but keeps it accessible, translating complex ideas into something you can sit with, and replay.

One of the most striking choices is the use of five different languages, woven naturally into the track. Instead of feeling like a gimmick, it reinforces the universality of the message and adds texture to the listening experience. The result is a song that feels both ancient and forward-facing, rooted in history but framed through modern rap. “Vanity” is a statement of intent. It challenges listeners to think while still delivering an engaging, culturally rich hip-hop experience. As an introduction to what’s coming next, it sets a strong foundation and makes a clear promise: this album won’t just be heard, it’ll be studied.
