Before this year's BET Awards I had not heard of Jidenna or his hit song "Classic Man". But its melodious hip-hop beat and catchy hook understandably has the song on radio waves across the nation. A Kendrick Lamar remix gave "Classic Man" a huge co-sign and legitimacy to Janelle Monáe's Wondaland label. While the tune definitely has a feel-good element at times it seems sinister for the fact a dapper man can carry a lot of influence. Now I should mention Jidenna's name means, "embracing the father" in his father's Igbo language native to Nigeria. A clean attitude, competitive spirit, and a fine tailored might just have you feeling really good about yourself; think about it, watch the music video below.
