Visual - JORDAN (Prod. by Loose Cannon)(Artwork Mo Parker)
I was listening to ESPN radio a few days ago and they were talking about Jordan's career, his titles, awards etc. in honor of his 50th birthday. I was inspired. It brought back a lot of memories.
I grew up watching MJ play and I was blessed enough to be able to catch him live a handful of times. This track is about one of those incomparable nights. The artwork is from a newspaper clipping from the Chicago Sun times after the game I am describing.
