JEAN GRAE TO DROP “THE BOOTLEG OF THE BOOTLEG EP” ON BABYGRANDE RECORDS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ORCHESTRAL ENTERTAINMENT
Newly signed to Babygrande Records in conjunction with Orchestral Entertainment, critically-acclaimed MC Jean
Grae is getting ready to drop her first release for the label, The Bootleg of the Bootleg EP , on October 7th.
Acclaimed as one of Entertainment Weekly’s “Bands on the Brink’ in May 2003, and hailed by Rolling Stone
magazine as “the best-kept secret on New York’s indie hip-hop scene”, Grae is arguably the most gifted and
critically well-received female emcee in years. Gritty and raw yet intelligently artistic, Jean’s debut LP
“Attack of the Attacking Things” garnered wide critical acclaim, immediately solidifying her place as not only
an indie hip-hop icon, but as one of today’s most promising new artists.
With the first single “Hater’s Anthem,” The Bootleg of the Bootleg EP also features Cannibal Ox, with whom
Grae is touring this fall (see below for dates). Also included is a bonus track – a 45-minute megamix of
some of Grae’s hottest freestyles, beats & rhymes. Look for Jean to be featured on an upcoming episode of
MTV’s “Advance Warning.” A full-length album will follow in 2004.
The Bootleg of the Bootleg EP Track Listing:
1 - Hater's Anthem
2 - Take Me
3 - Swing Blades (featuring Cannibal Ox)
4 - My Crew
5 - Code Red (featuring Block McCloud and PumpkinHead)
