dope RD has aged like fine wine
What happen to him?
He started his own imprint 'Get Low Records' (he had some little known artists on it) which in turn led to beef with JT Tha Bigga Figga, whose crew was also called Get Low.
He released a few solo mixtapes and then that was more or less it for him. That was years ago already.
One of the most clunkily phrased lines in hiphop will always be Jay-Z saying 'Bleek could always be one hit away' on Diamonds from Sierra Leone remix. It was meant as a shoutout but comes off arrogant and like a pisstake on Bleek
It seems Bleek feels the same way

It was also a bad look imo for Bleek to have Jay's 'Dear Summer' on his own album, even if they both agreed on it I guess
There was also this famous review about a latter day Rocafella album (I forget which one), it was on RapReviews I think, where the critic said 'without Jay-Z the future looks a little ... bleek'
Full disclosure : I've always been a Bleek fan
Memphis Bleek is Sean Price cousin?
Anyway I feel like Jay put his own records first, Memph style was too gully to become a mainstream rapper.
But yeah he was always dope on his features, his albums are solid. He could have continued as an indie rapper if he wanted, but I think hes in business now.
