The Leimert Park area has been revered for years for its musical excellence. Dating back to the 1960's and on, it has been an epicenter for great jazz musicianship and fantastic poetry.

     Recently, over the past four years or so, we have seen a  birth of Hip-Hop in the Leimert Park music scene due in large part to the rise of Hip-Hop Artist and Leimert Park native 27 year old, Dom Kennedy. Dom Kennedy has risen to national prominence over the past year and has shed a new light on the Hip-Hop culture in Los Angeles.

     Today, a new Hip-Hop artist is set to continue what Dom Kennedy has started. 19 year old Jamaal has recently released his first single off of his debut free album "The Cool Table" titled "She Knows." I got the single in my email last night and was pleasantly surprised. A place not known for its Hip-Hop culture is now starting to carve a niche for itself. Jamaal's debut album "The Cool Table" is set for a February 28th, 2012 release and he's doing it through his company, "The J.G.O. Company." 

The Single is below and I look forward to seeing the energy that Jamaal and Dom Kennedy can bring to Leimert Park.
