    Default Jeru the Damaja - The Sun Rises in the East

    I haven't posted on Rhyme Junkie in a couple weeks but I just put something together profiling Jeru the Damaja's debut album The Sun Rises in the East. Jeru is so underrated and it makes me sad that so many people don't even know who he is these days. His first two albums were produced entirely by DJ Premier and Jeru is an excellent emcee. He's intelligent, has a unique flow and a great voice.

    Here's a snippet of the intro:

    I have/had this album. It's probably in one of my old boxes. I used to listen to a lot of hip hop back in the late 90's. I liked Jeru. In that period there were a few good MC's..they were just not mainstream enough.

    Yeah man, Aint the Devil Happy is probably my favorite Jeru track as well. It's a toss-up between that and Come Clean.

    People look at me funny sometimes because they don't know who Jeru is, then I play that and they're like "yoooooo who is this!?!?" lol

    Remember Afu-Ra. I still have his first album (Body of the Force). I was really into hip hop in the late 90's. WTF happened to hip hop?
