Former emcee slaying battle rapper MC Jin’s latest pre-game release before the new album drops deals with the intricate nature of relationships. “Complicated” is off of MC Jin’s new album XIV:LIX dropping October 21st. With Jin’s faith coming to the forefront more in recent years, XIV:LIX could possibly be referring to a bible verse, perhaps Mark 14:59 or to Andy Warhol’s “15 minutes of fame” phrase. Someone at 14:59 of their 15 minutes is on the edge of losing relevance. It can be a tough thing to deal with when the hype dies down and you get to see the fickle nature of fame. KRS-One spoke on that subject on “Down The Charts”. Whatever the meaning, it’s good to see that Jin didn’t lose himself in the process.
