When I was 6 years old my mother wouldn’t let me listen to rap, actually between the ages of 6 and 10. My father though, was a big fan of Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg during the “Death Row era” and in my opinion was a great moment in my life because I was introduced to Snoop Dogg. Being from Baltimore, Maryland bumping Snoop was an experience, you just knew the vibe was different in California. Since then I’ve explored other artists and fell in love with the culture. I wouldn’t be hear without Snoop so it’s only right that I pay homage. – Rickie Jacobs

Can Goods, produced by a Baltimore based producer Eu IV, is about a day in the life, giving you a summary of how I enjoy my Summers, which insist of a lot of bad habits but most importantly the good times. Although there were dark moments in our lives, moments where we had no money, food, you couldn’t go wrong with Can goods. Kept us humble, and happy.

Produced by Eu IV.

The homie from Balitmore is back with some new music today for our listening pleasure. Jacobs was recently in Atlantic City for the 4th of July weekend and he had a little free time, mixed in with a little alcohol. This is just one of several songs that came from his impromptu session. via YHTN Previously: Rickie Jacobs – Beautiful America [Free EP]

In Star Wars Episode II-III, Anakin Skywalker was at a constant battle with himself before ultimately turning to the dark side. If that could translate to rap, Rickie Jacobs’ “The Devil Wears Prada/God Wears Gucci” would be his episode II. This two sided record finds him struggling with his career (in a story fashion, not necessarily meant to take away as personal in his life) and his surrounding. The force is strong within this one.
