Jean Grae Songs
Jean Grae - Special
In recent years, it’s become en vogue for authors of young adult fiction to release official “playlists” for their books. Comedian, actor, writer and filmmaker D.C. Pierson has done Stephenie Meyer one better with...Read More
Jean Grae - Kill Screen
UPDATE: Click “Watch Video” for the brand new visuals to Kill Screen. In classic arcade titles like Donkey Kong, the only “end” to the game is when you run out of quarters—or that’s how it was...Read More
Jean Grae - U&Me&EveryoneWeKnow
All signs are pointing to the new year starting off on the right foot. Just three days into 2012 and we’ve got a new single along with the promise of a new album from Brooklyn emcee Jean Grae. Anyone familiar with Grae...Read More
Idle Warship ft. Jean Grae & Jay Knocka - System Addict
After an artist holds down a certain lane for so long, it can be nearly impossible to find acceptance in another lane of artistic expression. That’s why Talib Kweli, the visceral lyricist that got his start during The...Read More
Jean Grae - Casebasket
For free 99 Jean will beat 99 acts down? Sounds like a deal, huh? Jean Grae is one of the best lyricists of our time. No, not just one of the best female lyricists, one of the best lyricists period, regardless of gender....Read More
Pharoahe Monch ft. Jean Grae & Royce Da 5’9 - Assassins
I spent most of my recent review for Pharoahe Monch’s new album W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) praising the immaculate lyricists refusing to water down his relentlessly deep and confrontational flows. While that musical courage...Read More
Jean Grae ft. Styles P & Talib Kweli - R.I.P.
Around my way, when something or someone needs to be described as good, dope or just plain authentic, people say, “That’s rough.” As for this record right here? This record right here (in my Katt Williams...Read More
Lil B ft. Jean Grae & Phonte - Base for Your Face
To be completely honest, there’s been a lot of debate around the DJBooth offices about posting Lil B. On one hand the former Pack member is undeniably a phenomenon, but on the other odes to Wonton Soup don’t exactly meet...Read More
Strong Arm Steady ft. Jean Grae & David Banner - Bust Yo Sh*t
Last Tuesday, the Strong Arm Steady gang released their brand new album Arms & Hammers. A week later, we are treated to iTunes bonus track Bust Yo Sh*t, which is produced by David Banner (who also contributes hook...Read More
Jean Grae - Bridge
Amongst the recent battle of the femcees and the onslaught of Nicki Minaj’s overhyped musical workings (yeah, I’m on that side), I got to wondering when I’d actually hear a talented woman on a hip-hop track who wasn’t...Read More
Brooklyn Academy ft. Jean Grae - Raise Ya Hands
Emcees Pumpkinhead, Block McCloud and Mr. Metaphor, otherwise known as Brooklyn Academy, decided to get their scientific-technologic-metaphysic wordplay on for their new single, Raise Ya Hands. These non-conformists of the...Read More
Jean Grae ft. Busta Rhymes - Love Thirst (Remix)
This past February, DJBooth featured Jean Grae‘s new single, Love Thirst. Three months later, a remix has arrived with Busta Rhymes, who is hoping to quench even more of that thirst. Toning down his...Read More
Jean Grae ft. 9th Wonder - Love Thirst
A growing trend, followed most notably by rappers Jay-Z, Biggie and Trick Daddy, is to carry a female MC under your wing. The next to join that club (believe it or not) is Talib Kweli, who has added successful...Read More
Talib Kweli ft. Ne-Yo & Jean Grae - Hot Thing (Remix)
Since its release in late August, Talib Kweli’s new album, Eardrum, has only sold slightly more than 200,000 copies worldwide. Clearly, the amount of eardrums Kweli was hoping to invade was a much higher number. ...Read More
