Jon Connor continues his Connor Season weekly drops he has dropped every Friday here in 2025 and plans to every Friday for the rest of the year. With his soulfully cinematic Cee & Ralph-produced new single, Mercy Me. That features Yung Gritty.
Jon Connor opening with such standout lyrics as, “All we do is gossip, got bank accounts, but no deposits. Fight to get up out the hood, like seven rounds of boxing. Paranoid cause feds ain’t the only one that is watching. Death ain’t even shocking cause nobody stop it. Lil what’s his name gets popped and everybody know who shot him. Idealizing rappers who rap themselves into FED time. Everybody tough till their Mom in bed crying. Rhymes and your lines that in the hood that you get killed for. Now you looking at the judge, facing a life you wasn’t built for. What y’all n***as crying over spilt milk for? You knew the game ain’t fair, but you gotta play the cards that dealt though. Look my heart bleeds for these youngin’s. I see the writing on the wall and he ain’t even see it coming. Homie this some sad sh*t, look at where he at. Made it out of the hood to just go back in the casket. Damn.” Showing why he is not only one of the top emcees and lyricist’s in all of Hip-Hop, but one of the few who always drops jewels of knowledge in his rhymes for his listeners and especially those who are also in the hoods to learn from. Yung Gritty adding a pretty solid guest verse dropping some jewels of knowledge as well.
