How Long Would You Last On The Streets Rocking This Chain?
Damn, Young Joc’s chain is OD, looks even bigger in person. One of those things that make you do a double take. I don’t see anybody making it of their block rocking something like this. Info on Joc’s new album, “Hustlenomics,” is below. Does the man has another, “It’s Going Down,” in him?
Block Entertainment/Bad Boy South recording artist Yung Joc is set to drop his eagerly awaited second album, “HUSTLENOMICS.” The Grammy Award-nominated rapper’s sophomore collection — which features the current hit single, “Coffee Shop (Feat. Gorilla Zoe)” — arrives in stores and online nationwide on Tuesday, August 28th.
Following up on the blockbuster success of last year’s RIAA platinum-certified debut album, “NEW JOC CITY,” “HUSTLENOMICS” confirms Joc’s status as one of today’s most ingenious and accomplished hip-hop artists. The album sees the 24-year-old MC collaborating with a who’s-who of studio stars, including the Neptunes, Chris Flash, Cool & Dre, Jazze Pha, Kevin “Khao” Cates, Drumma Boy, Dee Jay Dana, and others. Along with the aforementioned Boyz N Da Hood member Gorilla Zoe, Joc is also joined by a series of special guests, including Russell “Block” Spencer, Diddy, The Game, Snoop Dogg, Trick Daddy, Bun B, Rick Ross, Jim Jones, Young Dro, and Pharrell.
“This album shows growth and maturity,” says Joc. “I’m just expressing myself with different types of songs and different types of flows. A lot of cats think once you get on you get to make money, do shows, go to all the parties, and all this. There’s a lot more to it than that.”
“Coffee Shop (Feat. Gorilla Zoe)” is already shaping up as one of the season’s biggest hip-hop hits. The track has bulleted into the top 30 at Urban radio outlets and into the top 20 on the Rap charts, while also scoring major airplay at Rhythmic-formatted stations.
In addition to its CD and digital release, “HUSTLENOMICS” will mark Bad Boy Records’ first-ever release in the new MVI format. An MVI is a DVD that contains the full album, portable music files, video content, and interactive features. The PC/MAC-compatible package will include a bonus CD, a never-before-seen video interview with Joc, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, a making-the-video special for “Coffee Shop,” digital extras (such as screen savers, buddy icons, and wallpapers), U-Myx and UrTone (which allow fans to create their own custom remix and ringtone of “Coffee Shop”), plus much more.
Yung Joc will herald the release of “HUSTLENOMICS” with a full-scale summer tour, joining the all-star bill for BET and Scream Star Entertainment’s “Screamfest ‘07.” The eagerly anticipated trek — which also features such superstars as T.I., Ciara, and T-Pain — kicked off last week in New Orleans, with dates running though a two-night-stand at Los Angeles’ Gibson Amphitheatre on September 1st and 2nd (see itinerary below).
“Joc is the hardest working artist out here,” says Block. “This is his dream and he’s been ready to work hard at it since day one, way before I ever signed him. From the rhymes, to the tracks, to the videos, Joc has put a lot of himself in ‘HUSTLENOMICS’ and his audience is going to feel that. This is a very special project for both of us.”

Agreed with #7.
As for having another hit, he and Nitti aint working together, so no. Joc without Nitti sucks. Rich Boy without Polow sucks. And TI without Troomp sucks.
