Flint, Michigan’s finest, Jon Connor and North Carolina’s hip-hop heavyweight J. Capri join lyrical forces to pay tribute and homage to the song (and anthem) that kick-started our genre’s biggest mogul, Jay-Z. “In My Lifetime” was a monumental moment in hip-hop history. The year was 1995, the season summer, and it was the song that launched Jay-Z into the forefront of the rap game, a position that he has not stepped down from since. In lyrical tribute, over a raw and amazing Commissioner Gordon beat, Jon Connor and Capri absolutely incinerate the 2011 version with their hopes and dreams of one day being next in line to the throne.
