Jon Connor ft. Elite – Keep Your Head (Prod. by Elite)

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011


Art & Design by TaVon Sampson for By Any Means

After posting Jon Connor on the site for the very first time back in September, Elite (co-producer of “Who Dat”) hit me on IM saying he thought Connor was sick and that he wanted to give him a beat. I, at first, didn’t believe him… because we rarely (if ever) get any positive feedback from posting new artists, but I still put him in touch with the right people to see that this collaboration comes to fruition. Fast-forward to today, when this song hit the inbox and they let me premiere it.

Listen to the collaboration below:

Jon Connor ft. Elite – Keep Your Head (Prod. by Elite)

Dog I’m playing for keeps, you ain’t even no competition
I’ll even help you out, fuck it, I’ll sign my comp’s petition

Shout out to Elite, Jon Connor and the people behind the scenes making sure this happened.

This easily was the best beat on BOAB2.5. Thankfully it’s also featured on The U.N.’s Heat In Here mixtape, so we can hear it how it was supposed to be heard… without LA The Darkman rapping on it Drama screaming over it.
