“6’7” Freestyle”
J Prophet
From the forthcoming Getting My Shape Up, Vol. 2

Sampling a line from Lil’ Wayne sampling the 1950s classic “The Banana Boat Song,” Rodney Reynolds, aka J Prophet, uses the reference to demonstrate that his calling is higher, so high, “I’m close to the sun, I’m hotter.”

JP wants the finer things, too, but unlike those who seek after “money, jewels,” he seeks the spiritual. “Can I talk about something?/They ain’t talking about nothing.” The rhythm marches on.

J Prophet told TBGB he will be “releasing freestyles and remixes leading up to the release of Getting My Shape Up Vol. 2, which will be called V2.”
