For a moment I forgot this was a 1:00 length commercial and not a Disney short cartoon.

And fuck Bank Of America, I haven’t gotten to go to the safaris of Africa.

J.O. delivers with this week’s freestyle, over Faith Evan’s I Love You. Keep looking out for the Truman Show project guys!

Stay out of school folks; talk about a distraction, hah! Mr. J.O. follows up this Sunday with his 5th Freestyle, this time over the classic Root’s cut with the lovely Erykah Badu-me-please-you-fucking-Goddess, You Got Me.

Sunday, already? Shit, Quest looking a little thin, might be time to start looking into a few guest & co-writers… but either or, Sunday does mean another freestyle from Truman Show rapper J.O. Treading into J. Cole‘s Grown Simba on this 4th week, you should be getting familiar by now.

It’s Sunday! And as promised, rapper J.O. keeps trend and releases his third Sunday freestyle. Keep looking out for information on the Truman Show Mixtape and expect a quite possible September release, but you didn’t hear that from me, so shhhh…

Recall A-Y? During our downtime the good man released a banger of a mixtape! Since we couldn’t show proper appreciation upon its initial release, here’s to getting it back circulating again. Another recommended listen from QUEST, have we ever steered you wrong?

Like I for-mentioned, Quest absolutely loves sharing new artist with whomever frequents the site. We highly recommend this new artist, rapper slash producer, KeithCharles. Soon to be releasing his first EP, FREEEP, and an yet to be titled beat-tape. Fuck with it! We do.

Rapper J.O. continues the stride of weekly freestyles, going in over the Flobot‘s Handlebars. If one thing, I have to give muuuch appreciation for the out-the-box beat selection our S. Carolina MC chooses. Expect  more information on the Truman Show project soon!

In preparation of his Sophomore Mixtape, deemed The Truman Show, budding rapper and South Carolina native, J.O., has ensured the release of a new freestyle every Sunday up unto the tape’s release. Yeah, we past due, but it don’t matter though! Also, expect additional developments on the project, which draws influences from the Jim Carrey movie of the same name, as we get closer to the yet to be announced release date. So, remain in earshot for the full cover, track listing and potential previews!

Until then, enjoy him rocking over the Fugees’ classic, Fu-Gee-La.

Remember Judicial? Yes, no, regardless, check out these two brand new releases from our Home Team associate! One for those lush nights in the ride right before the party and another for the mellow-eared; rocking over Common‘s I Want You.

Judicial lends us his word on the prior track below.

Hip-hop reminds me of my struggle to be successful but most of all, the crazy shit I’ve done most of my nights. Those are the best memories. I recorded this song just because I was in a moment. I was happy that I was surrounded by people that make my life worth it and of course a little under the influence. I was having fun, enjoying life.
