It was almost a year ago, July 2006, when we first introduced the talented Watts native who goes by the name of Jag. Since then his constant buzz building and busy recording schedule has seen him release his first mixtape in conjunction with Dubcnn for free download.
The first installment in his “Music Money” mixtape series was released at the end of January this year for free download right here on Dubcnn. The mixtape “Money Over Fame” is the first release in a planned trilogy of mixtapes to lead up to a debut album.
The former New York “Fight Klub” competitor kept the mixtape simple ensuring in showcased his skill, mic prescense and lyrics over a blend of original production and mixtape style freestyles.
The original production on the mixtape is handled by Ricc Rude, 1500 Or Nothing, THX, The Animal House, Notch, and DJ Prosper and what Jag delivered over these beats was his multi-dimensional persona and skill-set, showing that he is quickly becoming a well rounded artist. We have the link once again below for you to download the mixtape however today we want to concentrate on two new freestyles that Jag has crafted, one of which where he questions why he wasn’t called to featured on the latest The Game track – “Cali Niggas” – so in retrospect he recorded a verse over the instrumental.
Jag – Cali Niggas (Freestyle)
The second freestyle track we have for download is entitled “Mr 17.5” and may well feature on his second “Music Money” mixtape when it drops in the next few months right here on dubcnn, the tentative title for which is “Tha General Strikes Back.”
