—After the meteoric arrival of Act I, “Exhibit C”, being dubbed a “wizard” by Mr. Carter and signing to Roc Nation, the well-traveled, talented, enigma that is Jay Electronica has released the complete version of “Dear Moleskine.”
From the New Orleanian-native’s Tumblr page, Act II is complete. Maybe this is the opening, though dated, scene of Act II. History would tell us that no one knows but Mr. Electronica himself. The Roots’ Questlove has been heard saying Hov listens to Act II daily, yet, the project still needs a single. Until further notice, the Keyser Soze (Usual Suspects reference), of rap music continues to move with the roc[k] in his court, time will only tell.
Even if you haven’t heard of Ken Rebel before, he arrives to the ring with an impressive stat sheet. Recently named in Complex’s Top 25 Under 25 Style Leaders, 30K mixtape listens on DatPiff, and a video to embody it all.
Being self-deprecating is almost tantamount to a cardinal sin in the rap game. Few have the bravery to do it, and from those that do some don’t possess the skills to execute it well. J. Cole enlists TLC’s help in “Crooked Smile” to take a shot at his own mug.
It's been a minute since we heard from the Staten Island group known as Wu-Tang Clan but with the release of, "Family Reunion", their first single in like forever, it appears the Clan is set to make their long awaited return.
For those who have been steadily working on a project and seemingly never eating the fruits of your labour, the message in “Watch This” by Portland rapper Epp should strike a chord in your chest.
