Listen: Rare Jay-Z Interview And Freestyle From 1995
Jay-Z's classic debut, 1996's Reasonable Doubt, turned 15 this past weekend. And to celebrate the occasion, Philadelphia DJ/radio personality Colby Colb released a rare Jigga interview and freestyle from '95. In Colb's words, this was one of the first times the rapper appeared on a radio station outside of his native New York City. "You could see the potential in him, he was nervous yet confident," Colb wrote on his blog. And after chatting about his background and future endeavors, Jay proceeds to freestyle over RZA's "Criminology" beat off Raekwon's classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. Ahhh, those were the days.
You can stream the interview and freestyle below.
