Topaz Jones could totally be the name of a Black Dynamite character, so it was only right that this Thelonius Martin-produced track get this title. Rapping over a sultry yet subdued guitar loop, Topaz goes in, utilizing various flows and a few well-placed harmonies to showcase his skills on the mic. The song is more style than substance, but Topaz‘s brief moments of discussing weightier subjects (“I hope that the fathers stay for the harvest/but the apples don’t fall too far from the tree and the branch and the leaves), show that he’s capable of doing more than just rapping well, which, of course, is nevertheless a feat in itself. Listen below.

The pair has more music coming in the near future, so keep your inboxes open. Also, check out our recent interview with Thelonius here.
