Grizzly&#8217;s sweet, syrupy flow, SLs laser-like verbal precision, and Jae Mansa&#8217;s no-nonsense street lyricism combine to form a whole that&#8217;s quite a bit greater than the parts \u2013 and the parts are pretty great on their own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Blessings&#8217; is relentlessly entertaining, and the accompanying music video is likewise top notch in its cinematic splendour. The clip plays out like a thriller, complete with stolen money, secret handoffs in alleyways, and beautiful (albeit lethal &#8211; of course!) women on a mission. Best of all, &#8216;Blessings&#8217; ends on a cliffhanger, with the promise of another video to come that&#8217;ll continue the story. We can only hope the wait for the next chapter won&#8217;t be too long.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Jae Mansa online on their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.JaeMansaMusic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>.
