KJ-52 & Goldinchild reunite for a 22 minute "Sons of Illmatic" freestyle session

As is KJ’s habit, he solicited topics from fans on his social networks and then used an iPhone to record the session shortly afterward.

As the title suggests, the former Sons of Intellect partners took turns weaving the suggestions into their rhymes over instrumentals from the NaS classic.

Peep the goodness below.

What other rappers would you like to see attempt this stunt?

Which hip hop classic would you like to hear them spit over?

Free DLs: KJ/MJ Mashup & Unreleased

Tweezy's always giving.



First up is the Songs You Never Heard Mixtape.

This free project has cuts of KJ-52 with Goldinchild, Knine, and Mr. Solo of Gospel Gangstaz. There's some freshness here you won't hear anywhere else and that doesn't sound like his recent 52 Television album.

Grab it here.



And while it's a little late, mashups are always fun.

Off the Wall has Jonah tossing rhymes from his last two albums on top of tracks from the King of Pop.

Get the files (again, for free) here.

KJ-52 rocks The Woodlands (again!)

It's the S.O.I. / Worldwide realize

Tweezy was in town once again last night to rock The Fellowship of The Woodlands church and film concert performance footage for the video to his "Keep Shining" track off The Missing Pages album. Yep, that's the one that reunites him with former Sons of Intellect rhyme partner Goldinchild (who also does a guest feature on "I Won't Ever Stop" from the original Yearbook album.)

The event was an exclusive youth-only joint with very heavy security so I didn't get to see the show.

[Side Note #1: The security was for the kids - not KJ. He don't roll with an ego like that.]

[Side Note #2: We overheard that there were over 1,100 fifth and sixth graders there and they were trying to get a count on the number of seventh and eight graders. Sheesh!]

Still, my wife and I were able to swing by before he hit the stage to say hello and give KJ a few copies of the new Tha Message magazine with my cover story on him.

[Side Note #3: Shameless plug - Get your copy right 'chere.]

We also got an autograph for a 9-year old little girl who is enrolled in our LearningRx business and who was supposed to be headed to the show. Earlier in the day she told my wife that she was going to see "KJ-54" so Jonah indulged us with a signature and a playful shot of this new moniker.



As always, KJ has a lot going on with some special stuff I'll detail in another post. For now, I just wanted to share a little behind-the-scenes info of one of CHH's hardest working men.

Oh yeah, and I'm kicking myself for not taking a photo of the special KJ-52 Smart car the church had on stage for him at the show. It was killer.
