On this Martin Luther King Day, o'g Ed Lover breaks down "cool" with young g, emerging rap artist Nick Grant. As the buzz of Nick's newly released album "Return of the Cool" stays on the incline, Ed challenges Nick to define what separates him from "mumble rappers," when did cool leave and the value of hip-hop origins in today's rap (ex. - if it wasn't for Rakim, there's no Nas; without Nas, there's no Nick Grant, etc.).

MORE: Grant spits a sultry freestyle for the ladies, leaks to our listeners what his first rap name was and keeps it candid on what it's like being managed by hip-hop icons Chaka Zulu (founder, Disturbing Tha Peace) and Jason "JG" Geter (founder, Grand Hustle).
