Wow, that is exactly what I said when I heard "And I Present". Just from one flow you can tell this dude spits it from the heart. I don't even know how I came across this dude but I was on some other blogs and clicked play on his video and was just amazed. I just downloaded his mixtape A City With No Seasons which dropped yesterday, and it is exactly what I expected. Nothing but perfection from beats to lyrics. If you are a believer in dreams and hard work paying off, then check out this dude because he spits passion; its always nice to hear some new hip-hop with substance. Do ya thang SC.
So ya boy just started interning for Envy Magazine and I'm definitely excited for new experiences, challenges, & opportunities. If you like music, art, food, night life...basically if you like enjoying life; then Envy Mag will keep you up on the hottest spots around Dallas, Austin, & Houston. You can pick up the mag for free at a bookstore, & some college campuses & boutiques as well. This is definitely a blessing for me so you know I'll be grindin' hard for it.
Jay-Z went a different direction with this album cover. Instead of doing the same cliche mug pose, he went for artistic cover art. In an interview with MTV on August 3, Jay-Z says the artwork represents "the forgotten pieces in hip-hop. Its not all about radio, or making gimmicks" and that the three red lines represent the original number three which was horizontally carved into walls ; which is how he wanted to approach this album by giving it a "classic" feel. Although its surprising that Timbaland only produced one track on this album, and Just Blaze is not on the album what-so ever. But if anyone is capable of producing a classic album, it's definitely Kanye.
