Jean Grae's 9th Wonder-produced Jeanius album has been in the works for the past 2 1/2 years, and will finally see the light of day this year, hopefully soon. Keeping with the old skool crate-digging vibe that Erykah Badu has with new video 'Honey," Jeanius will have four different album covers which all play homage to past hip hop classic albums. Grae's Jeanius also pays tribute to such old school artists as Public Enemy, Das EFX, Black Sheep, and Raekwon which can also be seen by Jeanius' four different album covers that will each be released with different covers for the different formats, i.e. Public Enemy (above) for U.S. release, Black Sheep for international, Raekwon for digital release, and Das EFX for vinyl format. And by the way, the first single, "Love Thirst" was featured last week which sounds very slow-grind-R&B-hip-hop-ish. Tasty.
