First I read 'Jay-Z' for some reason and was like 'WHAT NEW JAY-Z!?' and then read 'Jay Rock' and was like
So far all I see is potential and someone who wants to be both a G AND fit in to the weirdo TDE alternative vibe and it's just not catching on. So I had 0.0 hype for this.
BUT.. I must say that that first video King's Dead is pretty aight, I could see myself giving this some burn if the rest of the album was dope. I didn't expect him to be able to switch up his flow to sound more contemporary. Not sure what Future - my favorite rap artist probably in the last few years - was mumbling about at the end of his part but overall dope. Don't think it was very smart to end JAY ROCK's video with a Kendrick Lamar piece..
And OP @IronFist here's the video of the 'Win' song, you can add it to the OP. This sounds ok, not completely feeling it. It's some good advice in there though for many Coli nikkas 'stop chasing that bytch, win win win win'. Not feeling the 'get out the way, get out the way, get out the way yo' which sounds like some Red Hot Chili Peppers shyt.
Videos look nice af though and they are putting in the budget to make him come off as a contender.

dropping the same day as the GOAT doesn’t bode well for him
Probably won’t be able to give it a proper listen until a week after

Jay Rock is a great rapper but he needs a classic album
That Win is hard
