Reppin’ Boston, emcee Jake
the Snake
moved to New York to pen his new release, When In Rome… shedding his skin and emerging as J the S. In the
past four years, J the S has dropped
two internationally distributed full-length albums and a pair of mixapes.

In 2006 he dropped Strategy
of the Crown
which featured the likes of Ras Kass, Trife Da God
and Devin the Dude, following it up
with Year of the Snake v.2 with DJ Vlad. Now J the S is dropping his most important project yet featuring cameos
from Joell Ortiz, Skyzoo, Ras Kass and Slaine. When In Rome…, a prequel to his subsequent
third album, The Last Days (coming
next year) is here.

“I’m an intelligent artist,
but I’m more about pimping the system before it pimps you than I am about some unrealistic
optimism,”
J the S
says. “I tell stories and
innovate too, but I’m not on some backpacker nerd shit either.”
