MP3: SL Jones – “Don’t Want Nan” Ft. Trouble & Starlito (Prod. By Metro Boomin)

VICE’s Noisey Music Premieres Final Leak From Way Of Life No Hobby; Mixtape Out Tomorrow

08.29.2013

Critical Praise for SL Jones:

“SL Jones brings a lot to the table.”- SPIN

“SL Jones brings a complexity that’s rare.”- Complex

“Jonesy…we ride for you”- FADER

“SL Jones is a walking definition of the word ‘underrated.'” – The Smoking Section

The Song:

Tomorrow, September 4th, SL Jones will release his new mixtape, the Don Cannon-hosted Way Of Life No Hobby. Already, Jones has released two singles from the tape, “Big Bank (No Ones)” and the Kevin Gates-featuring “America’s Nightmare,” and today’s leak continues to show off the tape’s diversity – while “Big Bank (No Ones)” was all raw energy, and “America’s Nightmare” offered a look at the tape’s darker side, today’s track “Don’t Want Nan,” features Trouble and Starlito and is a street anthem in the making.

Way Of Life No Hobby is produced entirely by Metro Boomin (Future, Ludacris, Gucci Mane), and while the tape shows off some of the young, Atlanta-based producer’s most accomplished, diverse work to date, with “Don’t Want Nan,” premiered today by VICE’s Noisey Music Metro falls right into his sweet spot, with deep 808’s and sparse synths that compliments the three rappers, and the menacing hook.

Following the release of Way Of Life No Hobby, SL Jones will head to Florida, playing shows in Tampa, Orlando, Miami, and Tallahassee alongside Will Brennan and Austin Millz. Details and flyer below.
