In the vein of Pete Rock & C.L Smooth, Reflection Eternal, Gang Starr and other legendary hip-hop MC/Producer duos, Grand Opus is a newly formed California based group, and the nostalgia-inducing ‘Forever’ is their introduction single. Joc Scholar, MC from Fresno and Bay-Area producer Centric (Sean Price, Kool G Rap, Rapper Big Pooh, Wordsmith), join forces to create a timeless offering, letting listeners know that hip-hop is very much alive on the West Coast.
With Centric’s hard hitting drums/melodic chords, combined with Joc Scholar’s mic presence/thought provoking rhymes, ‘Forever’ captures with a feel of where “vintage meets the future.”
