JR on how he feels to have his project not being celebrated enough!
JR Speaks On Having His Album ‘What.A.Life’ Being Slept On. Legendary rapper JR has recently rejoiced at fans appreciating the work he has done before labelled as the one most slept on. The Feel Good Session inventor threw in a cents or two on how having his project not recieving a deserved attention made him feel.
JR has released a total of four amazing albums including ColorFULL, Kool Forever, ColorFull The Beega edition and The Main Event also What.A. Life which became a classical project still admired to this day.
“I’ll always hate the way South Africa slept on this album by @JRafrika ???❤️it’s such an amazing project with timeless music & content??” wrote a fan who was backed up by a number of other fans who expressed feeling the same way.
In response, this what JR had to say; “Solid project. But don’t say “supposed” the global music industry is 80% Brand and 20% Music. I’m too much of a purist, gotta keep the main thing the main thing,” wrote JR.
He added that ; “That album has some special moments. People cry over it all the time.”
Music means different things to different people,for JR it’s more than just about topping charts and gaining fame for vibe than authenticity but it’s all about great music no matter who makes it.
“Thing is I love african music. I love ALL SA artists making music that might not chart but is BRILLIANT! Period.”
