Jelani "Away We Go"

Jelani "Away We Go" (prod. by Durkin): I’m fucking anti-social. I’m cool in certain situations, but I’m forever feeling like the oddball/oddman out, especially when you get into spots where your bullshit sense starts tingling. Pause? Anyways, I’ve personally found that, once my personal business is complete, it’s easy to just dip, and Jelani composes a track that has perfectly painted that side of me to a “T”. He brings this idea to a head in three different situations: trying to reconcile a relationship with his Pops, Dapper Dan (yes, that Dapper Dan), being in a major where you know everything they are trying to teach you and a relationship that’s just not built on what a good relationship needs to be. The instrumental Durkin concocts adds to the true school feel of this – really having fun and making light of real emotions, but keeping it all the way Hip-Hop. Jelani’s slowly becoming one of my favs for the consistent string of tracks he’s been putting out, and I nominate rockthedub.com as the spot he drops his mixtape (or whatever this Jelani x Durkin project will be) with. Just putting that out there.
