After being on a mini music strike, my ears have awoken! I was switching through the radio a few days ago and I must admit, the only reason I stopped was because I heard, "...I was on Cecil B., Broad St, Master, North Philly, South Philly, 23rd, Tasker". As I NEVER hear anything about Philly or Cecil B. Moore(My street, woop woop!) mentioned on NYC radio, I paused. Then I listened.
I am a now new found fan of Jay Electronica. The song I heard was Exhibit C off the defcon project produced by just blaze. Jay Electronica reminded me so much of Nas flow wise (even though I hate Nas...). Apparently, he worked on some songs with Nas and a few Neo-Soul artists. As much as I am tired of commercial music today, he is refreshing as a semi-underground artist coming to the forefront. His lyrics actually mean something, his samples are sick and it does not hurt that they are pretty soulful. I secretly hope he comes out with an album or at least keeps the singles coming. He even did a song with Bilal! I have a musical crush....
This is what really got me interested in him but I posted this second one because I feel everyone needs a feel good song. There is so much sadness going on today that this song really brought a twinkle to my heart., glitter and all. Enjoy!
