Jonylah Forever

“Jonylah Forever,” is about slain infant Jonylah Watkins.

Watkins was murdered in 2013 when a gunman opened fire on the 6-month-old infant and her father. Born in Lupe’s hometown of Chicago, Watkins' murder became a symbol of the city’s gun crisis when it was revealed that Jonylah’s father Jonathan was targeted over a video game system.

On “Jonylah Forever,” Lupe described a world in which Watkins goes to medical school, but passes up lucrative jobs to work in poorer areas that need access to medical care:

At sixteen is when you got your scholarship
At twenty-two is when you got your doctorate
Even now it’s kind of hard to believe
But your father taught you work hard, and achieve
And you complied
Accepted by every medical school you applied
But the coolest thing is when they offered you that high paying slot, you replied
“They need me in the hood,” and that’s where you reside
Free clinic, nobody denied

Gr8 project

I still haven't finished the album no bullshit. Gonna get on that now actually

Dangerously high levels of fake deep itt

One of the best rap albums of the past few years man. But I actually prefer Tetsuo even then

Maybe you should listen to the album. I think you would like it.

If People understand where the songs come from . Maybe it will help with there understanding what the song is about .

Yeah sorry dude I dont have time to listen to an hr long album and I dont care enough too. I cam itt to bait reactions and quotes from people who did enjoy it so stop trying to put me on. Thx.

It’s never to late to try the album out . You Will prolly like it. 🙏🏿

Still the best hiphop album of the last 2 yrs.

wav files hard

Jonylah and Wav Files always make me sad man

Sun God Sam

I love you bro tbh

Thanks for sharing. Wav files is siiiick, going to listen to the rest soon!

Top 5 of last year, such an underrated record can't wait for Skulls

The album starts out very strong but it's too long and bloated for my own personal taste.

Wav Files is a clear highlight though.

Saying this is a solid album is an understatement. But for some reason I don’t revisit it the way I do Tetsuo despite believing it’s just as amazing.

Blassic

Wav Files has to be his most perfect song

this is definitely one of my favorite albums of last decade.

soooo many great tracks.

I be singing the hook for WAV Files almost every morning, it's almost a religious thing lol.

And Soundtrakk killed that s***

Was a murder, call Horatio
