JAYFORCE

One of my favorite emcees representing Detroit is about to drop a new album called “The Weather Man” & here’s the first single from the project called “Blue Widow”. Elzhi always impresses me lyrically & the soundscape he chose immediately reminded me of Alchemist’s production for Snoop Dogg’s banger ‘Hey You’ back in 2002. Production similarities aside this is still a dope joint, but I did wish Elzhi came up with a better album title because some hip hop heads may find it too similar to Evidence’s ‘The Weatherman” album title a few years back.  I’m sure Elzhi will have a dope concept like his ‘Elmatic’ project released a year ago today that may put these glaringly apparent albeit coincidental album title ideas to rest.  The album drops this fall but check out Elzhi’s upcoming tour dates according to XXL under the hood…….
