This track is the absolute opposite of what I am now - quick, fluid and beautifully intense.

I'm writing those lines from my couch (finally out of the hospital bed), but still - moving is slow af. Then again, I have Roqy Tyraid's "Jim Kelly" to add some flare in my life. I don't know where the dude came from, but damn he's fast and his lyrics are absolutely on point!

I am seriously surprised how underrated this album and artist are. This is one of the 3 tracks the US rapper Roqy Tyraid  (pronounced Rocky Tirade) is releasing. Blending 80's disco/funky groove with a faster-than-your-thoughts flow seems to be working perfectly because "Jim Kelly" has been repeat for more than an hour now.

The track also comes with an appropriately themed video. If you wanna follow RoQy battling kung-fu foes in the middle of downtown Phoenix in 80s looking aesthetics, then hit that play button.
