PREVIEW: Jay-Z Feat. Frank Ocean – Oceans; Lyrics Revealed
UPDATE: We now have the lyrics for the Frank Ocean-assisted ‘Oceans’ (below).
****************************************
Now, I’m beginning to see the (slight) benefit of having this new Samsung app:
Jay-Z’s Oceans preview video from the Samsung Magna Carta app.
He discusses the duality of his concepts. The celebration of where he is at now. How the song is the anti-Santa Maria. The ocean water the yacht is on is the same water his ancestors came across. How we write history, the history of America. The only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace… etc etc.
Mo The General (@Mo_The_General) – The C.R.A.T.E. EP
You can check out even more of this artist here.
PURCHASE: Mo The General – The C.R.A.T.E. EP (Bandcamp)
Born and raised in New Jersey, Mo The General, became a Hip Hop fan when he first heard Run DMC but his love and appreciation for Hip Hop deepened after being introduced to Hip Hop artists: Rakim, Kool G. Rap, Nas, Mobb Deep, and Wu Tang. Their music became a part of Mo’s daily routine. He was a vast fan, but his focus at that time was basketball. He didn’t pursue rap until 2004, when his cousin Droski, obtained studio equipment. Mo became a raw and uncut novice practicing until he grew and mastered his inimitable style that is now deemed as classic and sought after. He is the originator and motive of the thriving label CMG- Cypha Music Group. He has collaborated with various talents and dropped countless projects that are still on radio rotation now. Mo The General walked the Hip Hop Golden Era and continues to establish the foundation in which Hip Hop was built in everything he does. Its unity, its music with a purpose, and it’s him! He’s the voice of Hip Hop and the true definition of a never ending classic.
