ON THE RISE: J. Coop Da Great
I’m all about good upcoming talent…and REAL talent at that. When information about J. Coop hit my inbox, I wanted to know what made him stand out from the rest. So I checked him out and found out he’s a hip-hop artist from Atlanta, GA. Now I think you should check him out as well. When I asked who did he see himself working with in the future, he replied, “I could see myslef working with any one dedicated to their craft but if I had to pick a top five I’d have to say Jay-Z, Kanye West, Drake, Lupe Fiasco & Chrisette Michelle“.
“J-Coop Da Great brings a much needed fresh perspective to music with his originality and lyrical ingenuity”.
