Rjd2’s Got the Glow

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Here’s the latest video from Ramble John Krohn, and this one comes to us from his latest outing, The Colossus. The track is called “The Glow”, but to be honest, I have no idea where they got the idea for this video. I definitely like the track, and I was also a big fan of the new album. If you haven’t picked up The Colossus, you probably should do so as we speak.

If you haven’t heard “Exhibit C”, please do yourself a favor and glue headphones to your ears with the track on repeat.

On a separate note, where the hell is Act 2: Patents of Nobility?

This made my day on Saturday when I found it, and I definitely want to give a big up to Shake over at 2DopeBoyz. I’ve been itching for some new Mr. Slow Flow material since The LAyover EP dropped, and it looks as though my prayers have been answered. Apparently, Premo dropped this track on his radio station the other night, and from what I’ve read, this track will not be featured on Cats & Dogs; either way you look at it, this track is dope as hell, but I already knew that was the case because it’s EV.
