I'll be honest, I didn't know much about Jon Hope before, but I definitely do now. The man can flow:"Will I ever get to heaven when I'm nice as hell?" Another dope freestyle.

Word up! A rapper's lyrics don't mean anything if he doesn't rock a dope flow.

Wow, he can definitely hold his own against some heavyweights...this could rock acapella or over this melodic beat. I'm feelin it, he's got a nice cadence.

Jon Hope's flow and wordplay along with LJC's production make this a classic. Jon Hope is the truth. He is the definition of a lyrical emcee. Listen to what this guy is saying. Wow! I am a fan of this guy because of DJBooth.net. Thanks again for introducing me to another dope lyricist. One.
