“Jean Grae is one of the best female MCs around” is a sentiment that rings through the hip-hop scene. Really, it should be that Grae is one of the best, most careful and versatile rappers around.

While active on Twitter and guest verses, Grae has mostly kept quiet on the solo front since 2008’s excellent ‘Jeanius.’ Fortunately, she staged a resurgence over the last week, unveiling singles from her forthcoming ‘Cookies or Coma’ LP and dropping lines on a new Lil B track that’s been turning heads.

‘Rocket in Pocket’ (Featuring Styles P, Talib Kweli)

Riding a jumpy Ski Beatz banger that could potentially blow club speakers, Grae joins with New York MCs Talib Kweli and Styles P for some old school battle rap.

“My job is to floor you,” Grae raps. “Rock you and ignore you.” Both Kweli and Styles put in strong verses that reinforce their veteran statuses. Here, the acronym (‘R.I.P.’) is really all you need to know. Click here to download.
