Ms. Grae sure has been busy since announcing her retirement a few weeks ago. I’ve always believed that rappers’ retiring was akin to weathermen correctly forecasting the weather.

It doesn’t happen.

And when it does happen it’s the exception and not the rule. So I can’t say I was totally surprised when the remix for “Love Thirst” featuring Busta Rhymes has leaked and a video for the original surfaced. A little happy, but not surprised.

See, I’m a Jean Grae fan (Stan maybe, depending on who you talk too.) So I remember the buzz back in ’04 when Jeanius, her collab album with 9th Wonder leaked and set the message boards I frequented were ablaze with anticipation & speculation. The funny thing was it was almost impossible to find but no one would give it up. I spent weeks searching for it before finally getting it off of Soundclick (remember that?) It felt good to finally hear it and attain what had been sort of my holy grail in terms of music.

Enough on me though, check out the video above & get your self familiar with the work of Jean & 9th. Hopefully all this activity will lead to the actual release of Jeanius on Blacksmith. Sure the music is going on 5 years old, but the thing about music is that if it’s any good it’ll hold up. And if it doesn’t release… at least I have my digital copy.
