Last January, Queens rapper, and St. John's University student, Big Baby Gandhi took to his Tumblr to announce that he was retiring from hip-hop to focus on school, among other things. Fortunately for us, his retirement announcement may have been pretty premature. Since that Tumblr post, he's put out a few previously unreleased projects, and today the 23-year-old rapper is back with another few tracks titled N.H.J.I.C.

N.H.J.I.C. is a collection of freestyles that Big Baby Gandhi didn't plan on releasing initially. By releasing a project of freestyles Big Baby Ghandi was able to say a lot of things he wouldn't had he written his verses. "Writing can be really restrictive as opposed to say, just yell-rapping with your eyes closed," he wrote over e-mail. "In my mind, just by saying the random and pointless things that I was thinking I kind of spoke on topics I wouldn't have had the courage to, and with a depth I'd never allow myself to go into."

The tape features production from DJ PremierRZANashiem Myrick, Diamond DMobb Deep, and Dr. Dre and can be purchased on his Bandcamp page where you name your own price. The profits from N.H.J.I.C. will go towards a trip Big Baby Gandhi is taking to California for a pharmacy conference.
