This year, R-Mean kicked off an epic quest to release a song every first day of the week. "Mean Mondays" is a year-long campaign, where the L.A. rapper will drop 52 songs in 52 weeks. Three songs down, 49 to go!
This week, R-Mean connects with super producer group League of Starz to deliver "Blessing In Disguise." The collective has worked with the likes of Snoop Dogg, T.I., Chris Brown, 2 Chainz and E-40 among others. The beat features a songstress's chant coupled with a sample from Eric B. and Rakim's "Paid In Full." No doubt, the honor of spitting on that beat inspired the rapper to give an excellent performance.
R-Mean will headline a show at Los Globos in Los Angeles on January 19. Listen to "Blessing In Disguise" here.
Quotable Lyrics
More confidence and less doubt not that I want to test out
I used to pass out CDs at high schools burned on my homeboy's PC
Snakes in my crew, all they wanted was be me
Now he quick to run every time that he sees me
It's on. I never felt so strong to dead those wrongs, just put my headphones on
