Mine was filled with mixed emotions (from the football especially) but what better time to seek comfort from good music than the present right?

Nolan/b. Although he’d be categorized as a “new comer”, J.Nolan sounds and feels like he is certainly/span/spannbsp;not new to the game. The /spanfirst time I heard J. Nolan was almost reminiscent of the first time I had heard Nas and the more I listen to the Atlanta-based emcee, the more he reminds me of a young Talib with thenbsp;continuousnbsp;delivery of intelligent subject matter and a cool swag that keeps it interesting and never boring (think Lupe Fiasco). Comparing him to all this Hip-Hop minds might seem quite premature and almost like I’m hallucinating a bit but trust me, the kid is legit but enough from me, let J.Nolan tell it…/divblockquote style=”text-align: justify;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”color: #a64d79; font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-small;”b”I got into Hip-Hop music at a very young age.

I should really have used this song as this feature’s first paragraph, this song describes his kind of music with a single line, catch it if you can (“iwe use the convo to remove the blind folds cleaning up a cloudy soul/i”).
