So I got about a thousand tweets last night urging us to check out this MC out of New Orleans Dee-1. A 5 minute rap video might cause some to hesitate to press play, but I promise you this one is worth every second of your time. The title, "Jay, 50, Weezy" might have you thinking it's another rapper tryna diss the top dogs to make a name for himself, but in reality it's a very thoughtful and well done message lending some constructive criticism. Video directed by B.Mike. Dee-1's project, I Hope They Hear Me Vol.2, is coming soon.

Bout time son make OKP!!! Geeeeeeeeeeeet ‘em Dee!
yo this is dope man
Damn, finally. This guy nailed it! W O W. What the industry, people, culture needs desperately.
Good stuff. He has a lot of other good songs too. Something good from NO while we wait…and wait for Jay Electronica.
Shout out Dee-1 man! I been sayin we free physically, but mentally we still in shackles, Glad someone thinks the same way!
“With all you done sold now you can afford to be/ lyrically, Talib Kweli, but truthfully/ You ain’t gotta rhyme like Common Sense/ Just be down for the cause and don’t ride the fence!” DOOOOOOOOOOPE!
i concur with JimmyJazz
This is dope and the truth.
that’s that flame
