Jehst Returns in 2012 with one of the most antcipated hip hop albums in the United Kingdom. The album marks a new era for jehst having released his highly acclaimed albums/EP such as High Plains Drifter it seems jehst wants to take a different approach this time round.
The first track on the album is 'True Intentions' which is a great opening track, the song and whole album moves away from the gritty & dark style jehst displayed on previous albums and has a more relaxing and thought provoking display of his lyrical abilities.
Track #4 is titled 'Thinking Crazy' and is focused around a subject I'm sure many of us have experienced, being broke. The opening skit brings humour to the track,followed by Jehst rapping about the situation and possible avenues like robbing every enslaving bank out there.
The next track following Thinking Crazy is titled 'England' which features Jehsts rebel behaviour by not conforming to Modern Day Life in England. The Track gives a realistic view point of the country and it's not so hidden truths which ends with Jehst still showing his love for the country.
Jehst
I've still got love for the Place where I'm living
But right now there ain't nothing great about Brtain
If you've been a fan of Jehst since day one or have only recently discovered his music, this album is guaranteed to please your ears.

Two Point Four The Dragon Lyrics
Year of Release: 2011
Verse 1
What am I going to do?
The rent is overdue!
God, I guess it's over to you
I could beg, borrow, or steal
Take it to court
Try to appeal
But you've got to be real
Like that guy from Cypress Hill
Times are ill
Before I do something stupid I should write my will
I need to smoke something
Try to chill
Now I'm thinking:
In prison they supply the meals
No gas, no electric, or water bills
Fuck it
I'm cracking open a host of peels
As low as I feel?
I could rob a little kid's piggy bank
Scrap the plate down to the last milligram
On the realy, fam
I'm in a tight squeeze
Have you got a little spliff of weed that I could buy please?
Ayo, I'll pay you later
Why're you fronting?
Don't be a player hater
When I blow I'll be making crazy paper!
Chorus
No money for food?
You start thinking crazy
The rent is overdue?
You start thinking crazy
Bailiffs at your door?
You start thinking crazy
You're sick of being this poor?
You start thinking crazy
When your pockets are broke
You start thinking crazy
Your money went up in smoke?
You start thinking crazy
Up to your neck in debt?
You start thinking crazy
The landlord came to collect?
You start thinking crazy
Verse 2
They say I'm cashing cheques
And I'll be pushing the bimmer next
I've got a push-bike, blud
I'll push a BMX
So if you see me vexed
It's 'cause my money's short
There's not enough noughts on this cheque
I need a couple more!
Surviving in the tin cans out the cupboard door
Bunning draw
Just to deal with the rugged, raw, situation
This is going to take a team effort
If all else fails I'll turn to extreme measures
Ain't nothing sweet, fellas
We've got to eat
Let us load up the heat and go wave it at some bank tellers
For a bag of Cheddars
I know you man are jealous
We're all sick to the stomach like we've got Salmonella
I'm looking at my bank balance like "It's now or never"
You know the taxman is out to get you?
And I'm going to bet you
That when your stomach's touching your ribs
You'll suddenly switch
It's about to get ugly kids!
Chorus
No money for food?
You start thinking crazy
The rent is overdue?
You start thinking crazy
Bailiffs at your door?
You start thinking crazy
You're sick of being this poor?
You start thinking crazy
When your pockets are broke
You start thinking crazy
Your money went up in smoke?
You start thinking crazy
Up to your neck in debt?
You start thinking crazy
The landlord came to collect?
You start thinking crazy
Verse 3
So now it's time to start pulling out the long straps
