Jonwayne

Minerals & Gems

Jonwayne is one of those dudes that runs like veins of gold throughout the bedrock of Los Angeles hip hop. He manages to be cool with everyone and even where he doesn't think it's cool, he's respected.

You can't miss him his hulking and sessy mass hugging dark corners and stairwells. Well, in that case, I guess you might. I'm a dude who also frequents the cut in the cut. So I sees you, bro.

I. Sees. You.

For the longest though, I didn't know whether dude was a producer or rapper. I still don't know for sure which he prefers to be known for. Or if he has a preference. I just know that every time Jonwayne's name is associated with something, it's incredibly good.

And that kind of a track record gets noticed, no matter how many shadowy nooks and crannies you dwell in. Apparently, I'm not the only one. This new video, off of his by-the-time-you've-read-this-it-has-been-released-already EP, Jonwayne is Retired features Haley Joel Osment. Yeah, that kid!

For a minute I was like DAMN Jonwayne shaved and kind looks like that 6th Sense kid. And then I realized, I'm now old as fuck and that kid is grownup and rapping along to a Jonwayne song underwater!

After pulling myself back together, I decided to share it with you guys. Enjoy the emotional joy ride.

Love,
Brando
