A continuously updating blog of my favorite music and music related news. Stay tuned!
In New York City, in the summer of 1995, when Jeru the Damaja failed to show up for an interview, a young Jay-Z, along with Jaz-O, and Malachi of Group Home filled in and were interviewed instead. This was 1995 at Payday Records, at a time when every other record label had already passed on signing a then unknown Jay-Z. At the time of this interview Jay-Z had just released the single “In My Lifetime” with the B-Side “I Can’t Get With That” on Payday Records. (Courtesy of Rap Basement).
Jay-Z’s old stuff was the best, and this is the oldest it gets. This has unbelivable flow for a freestlye. He stumbles a little but who wouldn’t. Also, it came off of a radio station so it has that “In the Moment” feel. Enjoy.
