Jon Connor - Keep Your Head
Artist: Jon Connor
Featuring: Elite
Producer: Elite
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Unsigned
Whether in the streets, the music game or… well, anything, really, the difference between success and self-destruction often comes down to the ability to Keep Your Head when others are losing theirs. Well-prepared for the perils of the hip-hop hustle by his formative years in the urban jungle, self-proclaimed “People’s rapper” (and Booth newcomer) Jon Connor is one emcee who won’t crack under pressure, as he proves on this unreleased cut. Elite handles production duties, flipping Neil Young’s Southern Man into a uniquely fresh backdrop for the Flint, Michigan representative’s chronicles of the grind, delivered in a feverish flow that drips with determination. Between the headliner’s verses, Elite “[jumps] from behind the boards” to give listeners a sneak peek at the high-impact lyricism he’s set to showcase on his Booth-exclusive freestyle (coming later this week!): “I’m a God on the mic, boy / At least the Lord take possession of my arm when I write…” While Keep Your Head, as mentioned above, is unattached to any forthcoming project, those digging it should keep it locked for all the latest from this promising up-and-comer.

I just asked Z earlier this week how come you guys never featured any Jon Connor tracks before. And this is exactly why this man should be featured, he’s a true emcee. Connor’s the future of hip-hop. I imagine there will be many more Jon Connor features in The Booth.

I would be damned if I didnt say these two came hard. The production was nice and Elite also had a strong 16. If Jon didnt come back harder on back end then I would have said Elite took the the shine away from him.

There are so many dope up & coming emcees. Three years ago the future of hip-hop wasn't looking good at all. But now I'm excited for what the future has. There's always been dope emcees in the underground, but now real emcees are appearing in the commercial world too. These wack cats weren't gonna last forever. They had they're run, they got they're money. But now their time is over. It's time for the true emcees to take this hip-hop back. |
