No musician wants to leave a label, and if they do they want it to be on their own terms. In rapper J-Kwon‘s case however, getting dropped from Jive Records has been a blessing in disguise; his newfound independence will give the St. Louis-native a platform to take charge of his career. To help complement the hit potential of Boo Boo (Holding Me Down), the 21-year old MC/label boss/songwriter/producer gives a shout out to his home city with the area code reppin’, 314. Although his verses sound swagger-jacked from Lil’ Wayne, right down to the “ya dig’s,” Kwon shines on the production side and that should make 314 a sure-shot-spinner at the club. It’s got to feel good not to need that fake ID anymore…
I remember when J-kwon was in NY and he couldn't even drink at the club he was performing at! LOL! But anyway, I am kinda feeling both of his tracks right now for some odd reason. I hope he does good with his new album. I can put this in rotation.
I might not rep the 314, but J-Kwon is convincing me more and more that he is serious about staying put in the rap game. Remember, this man made so much money off one single (Tipsy) that if he wanted to retire (had he not blown it all right away), he probably could.
J Kwon's album was slept on... He had plenty of fire songs, more than half were good to go. Unlike alot of albums were only 2 or 3 tracks are hot. He had at least six to seven hot ones. His voice has changed a bit though. Hot production, songs good.
this is not bad, its clean, nice track it would have been goodd to have had a real sweet female voice on this with the Xylophones. ( kinda like that joint by Krs one- chick singing "step into my world" ) hope they remix it!
