Since his debut on the song I’m the man from the 1992 Gangstarr Daily Operation album. Jeru the Damaja AKA D. Original Dirty
rotten scoundrel has been recording and rocking stages all over the
world proving you can’t stop the prophet. Not only has Jeru given us
classics like Come Clean, The Sun rises in the East, Wrath of the math
and underground hits like 99.9%, Jeru has been very busy over the years
collaborating with artist all over the world. Grammy nominated group
Groove Armada, DJ Honda from Japan and international DJ sensation Cut
killer are just a few of the groups that Jeru has worked with in his
nearly 20 year career in the music industry. Jeru’s voice was even
sampled by four-time Grammy award winning group The Chemical Brothers on
a song entitled Rize up.
In 2013 The Damaja (Born Kendrick
Jeru Davis) is set to release an EP entitled The Hammer, with production
from the likes of Large Professor, Pf Cuttin and the Beatnuts just to
name a few. The Hammer promises to be an auditory treat for all lovers
of that golden era boom bap. This EP is truly Classic hip-hop for the
future, blending fresh new sounds with time-tested techniques and the
lyrical wizardry that Jeru is known for. The Hammer embodies the true
spirit of hip hop as a creative platform and cultural movement which
seems to be a concept far removed from in the world of rap today. With
tittles like Solar flares, Point Blank and Raw you can expect sonic
fireworks and masterful lyrical artistry. So for all you seekers of
funky unrelenting concept based hip-hop with a message, rejoice… and all
you purveyors of the whack beware Jeru The Damaja is about to put down
The Hammer!!
