New music: Jon Connor - Big City Dreams

The rapper whom Nas claims "is next" has just released the first single of his upcoming mixtape called Salvation. Now, future aint looking so bad for hip hop with all these new talented artists coming up.

You can easily hear what the fuss is about when you listen closely to how he constructs his rhymes and how he always tries to get vivid imagery and social consciousness into his lyrics. A shame he sometimes tends to let the rhymes lead the story and not the actual point/message which means he sometimes loses focus... anyways. Judge for yourself.

At one point he was actually roumured to be one of Shady Records new signings. He doesn't seem to have the recognition in the underground that he truly deserves so getting signed to a major hip hop label would be heavenly good.

If you don't want to wait for this one, check out last year's mixtape Season One.
