Jay Prince Shares New 'Beautiful Mercy' EP ft. SiR, Allan Kingdom & Joyce Wrice

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Making good on the promise of early singles like "AfroPhunk" and "Juice," UK rapper and Soulection torch-bearer Jay Prince has shared his brand new Beautiful Mercy EP with the world, an 8 track release that features vocal assistance from Inglewood crooner SiR, Minneapolis MC Allan Kingdom and breezy Los Angeles R&B phenomenon Joyce Wrice.

The record opens with the aptly-entitled "Beautiful," and wastes no time in showcasing the very best material Prince has offered to date. The MC bobs and weaves lyrically over progressive beats from producers like DrewThatDude, Gravez and Alexander Lewis. If this is a glimpse of the future, then Jay Prince (and hip-hop itself) is headed for very vibrant places indeed.

Listen to the full 8 track EP below, purchase your own copy on iTunes and check out the Prince's current set of tour dates, which include stops in Manhattan, Montreal, Denver and Chicago, after the jump. Good on you, Mr. JP.
