Lord Jamar To Release Solo Debut on Babygrande

Brand Nubian's own, Lord Jamar has taken a hiatus from expanding his acting résumé, (catch him on this season’s Sopranos), to deliver fans a concept album entitled The 5% Album. The album features appearances from the GZA, Raekwon, RZA, Lord Jamar’s own son, Young Lord J, and Papa Wu. According to the official press release for “5%”, the album delves into “unparalleled scrutiny of the culturally paradigmatic social movement that affected the development of such artists as Rakim, Nas, The Wu-Tang Clan and more. The 5% Album is a legend’s examination of the past, present, and future of one of hip-hop’s cornerstone ideologies”. Interesting stuff, but will Lord Jamar deliver? Cop the album May 23rd and find out!
