JEAN GRAE
THIS WEEK
ORCHESTRAL/BABYGRANDE

The Jeanius: no to shiny things or chauvinistic equality, yes to sit up, take note concepts with rhymes for (seven) days. ‘Going Crazy’ keeps looking over her shoulder as Joey Chavez breathes down her neck, and ‘The Wall’ and ‘Style Wars’ rhyme in cold blood to exact swift revenge. Bowing to 9th Wonder’s helium-drugged dicing, craving ‘Supa Luv’, deep down Grae is a girly girl, the fluffiness of ‘Whatever’ spinning an unusual record label namecheck while lovestruck and ‘P.S.’ taking on ‘Stan’-style penmanship. Bouncing all over tracks like a trampoline, it’s JG with the remedy.
