Jason James (a.k.a. Web, a.k.a. one of God's Favorites, a.k.a. the man behind Open Bar Season) is not your typical rapper, and it's no surprise that he's had far from a typical life. Although he called Vancouver, Canada home, the international man of rap mystery has spent some serious time in Toronto, NYC, L.A. and all points in between. See more...

Web Knows It’s All “In My Head” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/24/10 | Filed under Downloads, Freestyles, Web, Open Bar Season

This week finds Web getting deeply personal, something he says he always struggles with because, "it's hard to have and objective opinion of something when you're looking at it from the inside out rather than the outside in." Somewhat surprisingly done over Jagged Edge's "Tip Of My Tongue" beat, "In My Head" is first and foremost a lyrical rider, though I wouldn't sleep on Web's flow and delivery.
I think we can all relate to this one. It's bigger than hip-hop. Listen and download...

Done over the Cunnilynguists' "K.K.K.Y." beat, in typical Web fashion, "Pray" asks the questions that need to be asked, even if most are too afraid to. In his words, "I'm letting this one go in tribute to my brother, fellow artist and peer, Rasul. RIP Brother." Amen. Listen and download...

After taking December '09 off to clear his head, up-and-coming rapper Web hopped right back into the studio in January 2010; "Waiting to Exhale" was the first track to result.
