[Album] JOHN M.A. - "Barry Sanders Vs. Ned Flanders"

John M.A. is an American emcee who knows how to make good beats and rhymes combine into solid, nice feel-good music. I earlier posted his single "Downtown", stating it was from a forthcoming LP called "Master in the Arts". Turns out that specific project has been renamed "Barry Sanders vs. Ned Flanders" and is a good blend of John M.A.'s specific laid back, introspective and often funny lyrics and production work by LG The Professor, Instrumentsoul, RBDN, Crakk Nicholson and a few others who together create a comfortable soundbed for John to get busy over. Stream the entire 16 track album below or name your price to download if you're lockig for some pretty cool, smooth ish.

John M.A. - "Downtown" [prod. LG The Producer]

I have some memory of John M.A.'s previous work and though I don't have super clear image of what he was doing, I remember that I did like him as an artist. Naturally I was intrigued to see his name pop up in my inbox just now, and it turns out that he's working on a new project called "Master in the Arts". "Downtown", the first single features Wale and John kicking reflective lyrics over a somber production with progressive drum programming; produced by LG The Producer.
