In only two days, TDE’s veteran wordsmith Jay Rock will be dropping his highly anticipated 90059 album to much anticipation. The streets have been enjoying Kendrick Lamar‘s To Pimp A Butterfly album since it dropped earlier this year, but right now, it’s Rock season.
To give you a better idea of who Jay is and where he came from, he is taking fans inside Watts, CA and explains why he named the album what he did. Through footage from his listening sessions in New York and California, concerts in his neighborhood, studio sessions with Black Hippy and time he spends out in these Watts streets, you should get a better idea at who Rock is as a person and why he wants to put on for his zip code. It’s not just about that, it’s also about the struggle of coming up where he came from, surviving and making a path where there might have been none.
Not falling victim to the fabricated opinions of the media, “90059” proves that Rock strays far from any “shadows” and remains confident in himself as an artist, lyricist, and voice for his hometown of Watts, California. Proving that this album goes deeper than sales, blog posts, entertainment etiquette and facades, is the latest installment of the Aplus Filmz mini doc series, “Aplus Docs.” Watch as the crew that’s been riding with TDE since Rock’s “Dollars Make Sense”, walks us through the mind of the 112th Street child as he mentally prepares for his September 11th release. Together we visit the free Christmas Concert at Nickerson Gardens, the Dew Tour, New York and Los Angeles listening sessions, private recording sessions and even a never before seen midnight freestyle with K. Dot.
Jay Rock’s 90059 is out everywhere this Friday, September 11.
