Ajani Jones Takes Another Step Forward with "Bloom" Video
"Spitting at these open mics, I was killing."
Ajani Jones is special. I'm not even going to front like I am not invested in his career, like I didn't discover his music through my AEMMP Hip Hop Class, like I didn't connect with Ajani on a personal level, and like I didn't sign him to Closed Sessions. We're not idiots, and the handful millions of you reading this are not stupid. So that's out of the way...
Last night, as the music industry was in Wyoming or watching the playoffs, Ajani Jones released his new video for "Bloom", a beautiful track off his recently released EP, Cocoons. As Ajani says in the second verse, "I spit it for the people that's on EBT". That message is at the heart of "Bloom", a track that is about keeping your head up, and waiting for the time when everything pays off. Ajani is certainly ready for that time, and Strpmall did an excellent job of bringing this record to life visually, packing Ajani's theme of self-discovery into this video.
I'm out of words... Watch this clip below.

Ajani Jones' New EP Is An Exhibition of Growth
Ajani Jones released his new EP today, Cocoons. As the title suggests, transformation and growth is a large theme for the new project.
It's fitting that the EP dropped on the same day that Ajani announced joining Closed Sessions. I'm really excited about this EP. It is layered, it is specific, and it's competitive. Beats, rhymes, and life from a 24 year-old from the southside of Chicago, finding himself and his music.
