The Line of Best Fit
UK rapper and producer Gerald Jacobs releases a new single getting deep into how he expresses himself through the good or bad.
After releasing his debut mixtape The Loudest Quiet last year, Gerald unleashes yet again his ability to progress not only lyrically but conceptually too. Constructing a picture of how it is to survive as a young artist, Gerald is able to find the positive in the negatives of daily life in the city.
“You gotta live it how you get it. Till you get it how you want it” Jacobs serves up a dose of reality over the intricately sampled beat.
