So why a LORD JAMAR solo album now and why an album about the 5% message? Jamar says I've always wanted to do a solo album but certain things side-tracked me, i.e.: working with Dead Prez, acting in things like Oz, etc. Originally my album was supposed to come last year but we pushed it back so I could create more fire.” For Jamar making the record an album about his culture was a logical move. He grew up with a generation of rappers that were down with the 5% message, including hip hop acts like The World Famous Supreme Team, Just-Ice, Rakim of Eric B & Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Poor Righteous Teachers all the members of the Wu Tang Clan (more on them in a minute), Digable Planets, & Busta Rhymes. Seeing this list it’s not surprising one thought to do this kind of record before now!
