Jean Grae is an enigma to me.  I follow her on twitter and she is always ALWAYS joking around.  A serious word rarely if ever is uttered from her mouth err fingers??  But then you listen to her albums and its like you are dealing with a different person.  A case of split personalities I guess.  The depth of her thought and experience of life is mind-blowing.  I’ve never heard a Jean Grae album I didn’t like but I just love the diversity on the album ‘This Week’.  Its dark & introspective yet has dabs of youthful innocence.  Its somber & deep yet humorous.  Basically its her, and its life, and its amazing.  Its one of those albums you almost feel guilty listening to, it’s like you are secretly reading someones diary or something.  I would say aside from Miss Lauryn Hill, Jean Grae is the quintessence of a brilliant femcee.  I can’t wait for her to drop another release because her level of creativity far surpasses those of her peers.
