[FreEP] J.A.E - 'Verses For !llmind'

Artwork By: Ladale Ally

While !llmind's musical greatness should never go unrecognized, J.A.E provides the ultimate salute by recording an entire mixtape over the producer's most recent project, !.B.F.K.W. (!llmind Beats For Kanye West). Stream + download Verses For !llmind below, and check out J.A.E's personal !llmind story below:

!llmind is one of my favorite producers of all time. When I met him awhile back at the Skyzoo "Frisbees" video shoot, I remember inquiring about some production and him stating something about a budget. However, at the time I hadn't even put out my first mixtape yet and was clueless to what a budget was. When a friend of mine played the production on #BFKW I was blown away and felt the need to pay homage to one of the greatest to ever do it. Thank you !llmind

Hourglass Picks: "Rolling Stones," "Fast Forward," "Accept Us," "Mr. Blog[*ahem* wom]an"

BanksOnTheBeat - "Chapter MMXIII" (Prod. DJ Dahi)

BanksOnTheBeat, one of my hometown heroes, has switched it into high gear as he preps to release both a beat tape and his next project as an artist, College Dropout Too, at the top of this year. On "Chapter MMMXIII," Banks lets DJ DAHI handle the production as he shows how much he's becoming a problem lyrically.

Check out the single from the Charlotte emcee below, and be sure to keep an eye out for some big moves from the YachTs crew in 2013.

J.A.E - Gone [Music Video]

NC may be in J.A.E's heart, but Flatbush, Brooklyn is the rapper's second home. Watch him and the rest of the YachTs crew light up, play dice, and eat chicken (with Mary J. Blige?) in the visuals to "Gone," the lead single to J.A.E's forthcoming project Fruition.

J.A.E - The World Is Yours (Freestyle)

When I saw the title I was immediately intrigued. It takes a lot of balls to go over a classic track, let alone classic Nas. As soon as I pressed play, J.A.E addressed his decision nonchalantly with "Ni**as act like they scared to go over classic sh*t," and proceeded to kill it. Check out his "The World Is Yours" freestyle below, and get ready for more new music from the YachTs crew emcee.

J.A.E continues to run circles around the competition as he reveals the Third Lap in his Running Laps series. The NC to NY emcee lives life in reverse as he provides quote-worthy lyrics to the Uncle Dave production. J.A.E has Gentlemans Quarterly, Jake Davis & Mark McNairy to thank for serving as inspiration behind the creative visuals, which follow him living life in reverse.



Until Lap #4!

J.A.E - Second Lap [Music Video]

J.A.E makes me like him more with each track he drops because finds some stash his secret weapons and release them at the perfect moment. He gets major points from me here as he rhymes over one of my favorite Phantogram tracks, "When I'm Small" for the "Second Lap" of his Running Laps series.



Catch up with J.A.E and watch him action on the "First Lap" HERE.

BanksOnTheBeat ft. J.A.E - For The Thrill

BanksOnTheBeat turns his new single "For The Thrill" into YachTs affair as he calls up the homie J.A.E to add some more heat to his production. BanksOnTheBeat has been doing his thing with the mic and behind the boards, so his new mixtape, No Boundaries, should be a nice addition to the music collection. No Boundaries drops next week on March 5th!
