I've been supporting the 25-year old rapper from LA, Jay Rock, for a long time. He's dropped a load of mixtapes & he's been through a whirlwind of recording situations - From attempting to write for Aftermath, to touring with 50 Cent, to having a failed record deal with Warner Bros Records, to being named MTV's Breath-through MC of 2010, to being featured on the XXL Freshman cover, and then finally successfully signing a record deal at Tech N9ne's independent juggaknot Strange Music in late 2010 - he's been through alot. He's collaborated with artists like: Lil Wayne, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Will-I-Am, Akon, The Game, Twista, E-40, Bun B, Xzibit, Kurupt, Glasses Malone, Lloyd, Omarion, Main-o, Crooked I, Nippsey Hussle, Kendrick Lamar, his boss Tech N9ne, and more. Below is a 2-minute clip of footage from a studio listening session of his new debut album "Follow Me Home". Rap legends Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg are in attendance and give him their stamp of approval! If you are feeling his album too...it'll be released in stores today (7/26/2011) so go support him & buy it. Enjoy...
Welcome to Doc's Mind. A no-holds-barred blog about what goes on in my life, and how my brain reacts to it. No subject is off limits, especially my loves for Hip-Hop, Music Review, Music Biz, Basketball, UFC, & Mythology. I don't expect everyone to agree with my opinions, so I leave it all open for discussion & argument. Also be sure to check our podcast called The Twisted Critics on spotify & all other platforms, hosted by Rapper A.M. & myself.
