The Sun Rises in The East Tour at The Jam Jar
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Underrated East Coast legend in the building! He’s spat pure shade and tough poetry over the greatest DJ Premier beats ever - scoring one of 90s hip-hop’s most game-changing LPs. Now, Jeru’s come for his crown. Insane historical fix for those that know, essential FFO: Nas, Digable Planets, Mobb Deep, Kool Keith etc."
