New J-Rawls/Liquid Crystal Project Video

YouTube Preview Image

J-Rawls is back with another installment of his Jazz Group, the Liquid Crystal Project.  If all True School Hip Hoppers were warm, good doods like Rawls then I would be more inclined to not avoid the 4 Elements of Hip Hop concept like it was a syphallus infested meth addict personified. Boomin and Boomin in your jeep. This video takes me back to rocking Knit hats and Polo while listening to Tribes “We Got the Jazz”.
