A Jean Grae Promo Vid Worth Watching
Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at 12:08AM
This is a NSFW promo video for Jean's long-awaited 9th Wonder collabo LP, Jeanius, which hits shelves today. I haven't seen much real video footage of Jean before. I like that she's a total weirdo. And I like that she hangs out with David Cross.
There's a lot of history behind Jeanius—it was recorded back in 2004 but for one reason or another never saw a release date. Until recently, an unmastered internet bootleg had been the only available instance of Jeanius. Jean reported last year that it leaked a mere two weeks after her 2004 album, This Week, had leaked.
If you're worried about Jeanius sounding dated, don't. Even though rough drafts of all the songs were completed years ago, the production has been subtly reworked to fit with the times, and it gets the job done.
For "true school" heads, Jeanius will be essential listening. Don't sleep.
Buy Jeanius from iTunes.
