Ajani Jones recently signed to Closed Sessions, the label that's home to Jamila Woods, Kweku Collins and more. The rapper's been bubbling up for a minute now and he has a lot of potential to make some major noise this year. The rapper recently dropped his Cocoons EP which serves as his first project through the label.
Ajani Jones' Cocoons EP is a glimpse into his potential to blow up. The project is only six tracks long with one feature from labelmate Kweku Collins. He weaves into some deep topics about growing up in Chicago's Southside throughout the project while pushing the theme of overcoming difficult situations. If you haven't heard of Ajani Jones, this project will definitely serve as a great introduction before you start diving deeper into his discography.
