Jersey is in the building! The young spitta Topaz Jones drops his sophomore project with Chicago’s Thelonious Martin on the boards.
The project began in the fall of 2010 when the two young artists (both are only 18 years old) came together to record the song Look At Me Now which was released as the lead single for a collaborative mixtape by 2DopeBoyz.com and Dope Couture. From that point the duo continued to craft a masterpiece full of soulful samples, hard hitting beats and prolific wordplay reminiscent of the classic Hip Hop they grew up on. Hello My Name Is gives an example of artists making music solely based on the love and passion they have for it. Consider this his introduction.

Something new from the R&B boy wonder that was liberated earlier this morning by the good folks over SC. Not sure where this is going to end up, but it’s not as strong as one hoped it would be. Still playable. What you think?
