Zip ((better)) — Jermaine Dupri- Life In 1472 Full Album

He leaned back in his chair. Life in 1472. The title was a nod to the year Christopher Columbus "discovered" America—a statement from Jermaine Dupri that he was discovering a new world of sound. And he wasn't lying. Marcus remembered the first time he heard "Money Ain't A Thang." He was in the back of his cousin’s Cutlass Supreme. When the beat dropped—that dusty, soulful boom-bap that somehow felt luxurious—it felt like they were driving a Bentley.
