Funeral - CD

With those words, the drums hit, and Jez Doir's "Heroin" really gets cooking. It's the leadoff track on the L.A. rapper's debut EP, The Funeral, and it's a good indication of what's to follow. Funeral is a moody, reflective seven-song set inspired by some unhappy days in the artist's life. "I named this EP The Funeral because it is the death of what I was perceived as before; I'm not a party college rapper," Jez says. "It was a dark time in my life, and recording this EP was the only outlet of emotions that I had."
