[Audio] JD Era – Wu-Tang Forever

jdera-wutangforever-artwork

New one from JD Era.

It’s no wonder that JD Era is the Toronto rapper most endorsed by the Wu Tang Clan. His newly released track, Wu Tang Forever, pays homage to the Clan in the most respectful and appropriate way possible – by annihilating a beat with lyrics and wordplay that could only be inspired by the pioneers of the game.

Like most rappers out there, Wu Tang has ignited his drive in the game – but, unlike many other rappers out there, JD Era was hand picked by the Clan. In 2012, he was signed to Raekwon’s newly formed indie imprint, Ice H20 Records. Not only has he collaborated with Raekwon on several projects, but he’s performed alongside and done tracks with Ghostface Killah, RZA, GZA, Method Man, as well as Drake, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, and many more.

New track from ShaqIsDope’s upcoming Black Frames.

In a crystal-clear flow that would make the most experienced emcee envious, Shaq showcases his potent, passionate mic style.Zach Lyda‘s echoing beat is on the softer side, thanks to the velvety sample, but this record is anything but lightweight. Shaq posses all the power the track needs, both in his flow and his thoughtful, engaging lyrics. If you dug Just Believe, be on the lookout for the artist’s next project,Black Frames.
