my man brian put me on rockwell knuckles a while back, but after i got this track in the early AM and let it bang on these KRK monitor speakers, i was sold.

the north st. louis representive brings a different sound than other STL artists that we’re more familiar with (nelly, j-kwon, huey, etc.). i see this guy making some power moves because he’s a crafty hitmaker, as this joints illustrates. for that full effect, make sure you have some speakers that knock. trust me.

this is the theme song to my night life. ha! if you’re a fan, go get his latest mixtape, the glow (sponsored by the smoking section and trackstar the DJ) here.

j-kwon is back.

just some hump day swag music for you guys. a whole lot of punchlines from the guy who disappeared after that incredibly well-produced (and therefore pretty damn entertaining) hood hop album. almost every song was a hit.

the last verse in this is pretty smooth. this is off hood hop 2.5 (when did hood hop 2 come out though!? i’m just saying.) i don’t know who nikki is, but she definitely got smacked. you heard it here first. i want to see this man come back into the game. is it too late!? let me know what you think, and jam the track.
