Jern Eye feat. Roc C & Nightclubber Lang - Blowin' Up


It's a transcontinental joint that caps off Jern Eye's upcoming release, Vision, as the Oakland-based emcee grabs a classic Notorious B.I.G. sample for the hook. World famous DJ Vinroc, who serves as a part of crews Triple Threat and 5th Platoon, steps in on the production side laying a strong foundation for Jern Eye to celebrate the long struggle of a career that has lead up to this, his forthcoming sophomore solo album, Vision. Guest emcees Roc C and Nightclubber Lang of The Boom Bap Project drop verses that recognize their similar experiences, and for Jern Eye the song serves as a great opportunity to work with the two fellow emcees on his album. Jern Eye says, "I actually recorded a handful of music with Roc C prior to making this album. I met him on tour in '06. This song was one of the earliest songs recorded for the album. The chemistry is just real, and the beat is real grimey. I love grimey."

For Nightclubber Lang, "Blowin' Up" also signified the beginnings of a strong working relationship with Jern Eye. Nightclubber Lang says, "Blowin' Up is the first track I ever did with Jern. Him and DJ Icewater (from the Pharcyde) wanted me to get on there and spit a third verse. Jern and Roc C definitely did their thing, so I just wanted to get on there and represent. It was too dope not to include on Vision." Despite the stellar guest verses, no rhyme typifies the celebratory nature of the track better than Jern's, "I went from gettin' scrapped when it came to beats / To gettin' top choice for the sound of my speech."

Check out this and the first fourteen tracks of Vision, out October 13 via MYX Music Label.

Almost three years later, Roc returns with The Transcontinental, a complete collaborative project with IMAKEMADBEATS, a production outfit also known to Rah Digga, Steele and Mic Geronimo fans as Nemo. The work, releasing May 19th, is Roc's debut with E1 Records, formerly known as Koch. Despite the move, Stones Throw affiliates Oh No, Lootpack's DJ Romes and Wildchild lend hands. Rapper Big Pooh, Mic Geronimo and Chino XL also appear.

"IMAKEMADBEATS' stellar production and Roc 'C's fierce lyrics combine to start a journey through life, excellence and fun," said one-time Murder Inc producer Jimmy Kendrix.

In related news, another Stones Throw artist also situated a deal with E1. Georgia Anne Muldrow, who released her Olesi EP, along with a string of singles and appearances on Peanutbutter Wolf's imprint, has announced her Someothaship/Epistrophik label, distributed through E1. The label is a joint venture between her and boyfriend Dudley Perkins.

Georgia Anne, daughter of Jazz guitarist Ron Muldrow, is most known for her appearance on Erykah Badu's acclaimed 2008 album, New Amerykah Part One, a Universal Motown release.

Her May 19th release, a compilation of rapping, production and singing titled George Anne Muldrow Presents: Ms. One, features Rapper Big Pooh, Stacy Epps, Black Milk and Dudley Perkins.
