Description To commemorate his new album... This dude, in my eyes, is the undisputed king of the beat. NO ONE does it better than him.

I credit Pete and C.L., the track 'T.R.O.Y.' more specifically, with being the first hip hop joint that got me into really paying attention to the lyrics, as opposed to just vibing to the music. I was about 10 or 11 when that came out, and it just spoke to me like nothing I've ever heard before.

I decided to go with the Jamaican flag in the background as it's part of his heritage. That, and I wanted something more iconic so it wouldn't clash with him so much.

quite so
almost too much music can attribute some relations to jamaica

you know punk and hip hop share some of the same roots because of that?

the only song on the album that I don't feel is with Chip Fu & RenΓ©e Neufville. though people say 'We Roll' is awful I think the beat is superb but you know Jim Jones can't rap for shit haha.
