We thought we should mention Miss Jean Grae’s album produced by 9th Wonder “Jeanius” is finally in stores!

You can check out a blog on Blacksmith Music’s Talib Kweli’s myspace about the built up anticipation and the hurdles getting this project out. This release was plagued by the good ole ‘push back’ factor for quite a while which means the internet has pretty much had it for… i dunno, a year? But alas, after all the sample clearances and check clearances, the album was ready to be put out.

HOWEVER, the very dope cd art that was created as tributes to classic hip hop duos bc of its own creative ’sampling’ of art direction, did not get ‘cleared’ by the good ole distributor and they needed a new basic cover for retail ready ‘yesterday’ in order prevent yet another delay. Enter Frolab.

We frolaborated w/ Blacksmith to design a simple new cover (that once u open it you can re-fold to feature whichever cover you want) and handle all the final layout/ tracklist and credit changes and get the final obstacles out the way and off to print. There will also be #ed limited edition cds w/ each cover available at her shows as well as a t-shirt featuring all the covers. The original 4 covers are designed by FWMJ at rappersiknow.com.

Also check out KevinNottingham.com for a link to download of all the samples used on the album!

Buy the cd in stores or pick up the wax which has the Das Efx art!
