JD ERA TAKES SHOTS AT RAEKWON, HIS FORMER BOSS

[KingsOfKings]

Remember when JD Era was signed to Raekwon's ICEH20 label in 2012? Some thought that the partnership was put into place so that the Wu-Tang Clan member could cash in on Canada's grant system, which awards money to Canadian acts and labels who operate in the Great White North. JD Era expressed concern that the co-sign was a "double edged sword," and that although he put in a lot of work, he "didn’t feel like it hit where it needed to hit."

Well now it appears that JD Era's frustration has become aggression, as he took shots at his former boss in a new freestyle video. Rapping alongside Raz Fresco and Sese in front of a shoe display to promote KOTD, JD Era laid out all of his concerns in a couple of bars, even taking a shot at Raekwon's last project Fly International Luxurious Art. "Don't ask about no Raekwon homie, the past is the past / went from legendary to just money hungry for cash / I hope Donald Trump wins and he deports that ass / and between me and you that last album was trash."

We'll see if Raekwon decides to respond to these barbs through a song of his own.

jd era is one of those blog rappers you downloaded a mixtape years ago, never listened, and forgot about. was he good?

 

[KingsOfKings]

so-so imo

It's only 11-12k. How is 12k cashing in? It's not inconceivable that Rae had already spent that amount in promoting dude, and figured he could recoup using the grant money. It's a little shady, but really I doubt Rae was that thirsty for 12k.

Who the fukk is this clown that has the nerve to even mention Shallah Raekwon the GOAT's name?

I think it can go up to 50k. I guess it depends how many grants you can apply for.

I thought it was a good freestyle session. Stitch is going to have problems with Eminem comparisons.

this was a jam

I'd have to see an interview or something for some insight into what this guy's problem is exactly. He's from Canada, only one rapper in history has blown up from Canada and he's a pop star. So I need to see if his expectations were realistic or did he expect a Rae co-sign in 2015 to really turn his career around.

Not trying to say Rae didn't jerk this nikka but i must say the dude wasn't even that nice

They have the records, Rae got between 11 & 12k. If he got 50k then it might look kinda crazy, but 12k makes the situation a bit debatable.

JD ERA is ass

What I wanna know is what happened between Camoflauge and Ice Water (if anything did happen - I heard he was dealing with them).

IM sure he expected Rae to actually do something with the label other than open a downtown office and do absolutely nothing for 3 years...
