Don’t Miss The Opening Act
Unquestionably the hip-hop game has undergone a major transition over the past few years. Today the South has become rap’s newest mecca, with the metro, Atlanta area being designated as its undisputed headquarters. Now, in the wake of multi-platinum artists like Lil’ Jon and T.I., comes the city’s next star in the form of 19 year old J.R. Get Money, whose Universal/Motown debut album entitled The Opening Act will ensure that “the future” of hip-hop will be even brighter in the years to come.
Produced by T-Mix (Cash Money), Play-N- Skills (Chamillionaire), Ike Dirty (50 Cent), Ghost (Nelly), Gary “Gizzo” Smith (Moodswing Productions) as well as stellar guest appearances by Young Dro, Lil Wayne, Bobby Valentino and Moodswing Productions recording artist Kalenna, The Opening Act contains a bevy of blazing songs that make it one of the most remarkable albums to come out this year. The fist single, “Let’s Go,” produced by Mannie Fresh is an amped up party track that is sure to be getting people moving in the clubs and shows off J.R.’s party side.
