ThirstinHowl

The most important rapper over 40yrs old isn’t Jay-Z. Thirstin’ Howl the 3rd is rap’s MOST important independent artist not named Tech-9. Thirstin’s perserverance and devotion to the lifestyle is legendary. Still rapping. Still styling. Still skilling this shit after ALL these years. Salute this 5 star general when you see him on these internets streets.

This mini-movie is a collection of verses behind some real cinema noir storytelling. Thirstin’ and I have spoken on several occasions and this man recognizes what the video platform means for bringing people to his artistry. Thirst is taking the story of his life and making movies.

Maybach Music Group’s resident O.D.B., Gunplay, stops by the CJS ComplexTV set to tell us his story of struggle and survival. Don’t let the provocative stageneame fool you, Gunplay was actually one of the more spiritual and cerebral rappers to sit on the set.

Dude is from Florida tho’ so you already know all types of fux shit gonna be in this episode.

Let me know if y’all want me to keep posting these ComplexTV episodes or not. Chatter on this side seems low key on these projects but maybe I’m wrong. Let me know regardless.
