If you experience a little déjà vu during the opening bars of this record, don’t worry—you probably have heard it before. Originally featured in January ‘08 as California Soul, the cut met with a lukewarm reception from Booth readers. Apparently, Jay Rock and the Top Dawg Ent./Warner Bros brass decided that it was ever-so-slightly ahead of its time, as a newly remixed and remastered version, now known as Follow Me Home, has been chosen as his forthcoming LP’s latest official single (and title track). Besides the redone intro and extended outro, the changes are fairly subtle—Jay Rock’s verses, as well as Game‘s guest contribution, remain intact—but the tweaked sound may make all the difference; TDE‘s funky, 5th Dimension-sampling instrumental, which (in my opinion) didn’t get the attention it deserved the first time around, seems to come through clearer and hit harder here. Is it enough to make the record a hit? You decide. Jay’s debut studio album has yet to receive a solid release date.

I like the sample here. This is a tight track and both artists bring heat on here. Production is good too. Not quite a classic. I would give it four stars but it is locked on five. What's up with this rating problem on tracks from time to time?

I do like the production a lot, and I like Jay Rock's flow on here. I jus think his voice is a little too raspy and overpowering over this beat. Its only slightly overpowering, tho, and the track is def hot. The Game is cool on the hook...

I heared this song a few days ago and I kept spinnin this everyday since then. Jay Rock spits fire. Call him the punchline king. Together with Game this is a collabo made for succes. His voice and flow,- unique and great pace. The hook is tuned perfectly and those tweaked sounds outstandin This song has to be a stepup to somethin big.

Jay Rock & The Game are both very solid with good rhymes & nice flows. The production is alright as well.
These two are a good match on these West Coast joints |

I love the sample. California Soul. I am one so you kno this is close to home for me. Jay Rock has some heat in his arsonal. He needs to seperate his sound from Game's though. They sound alot alike. All that aside this song is strong,

This beat + hook can get him mainstream attention ... i guess ... the only hurdle dat stands in between is HIS OWN voice ....

Yeah...um...not my style at all. I'm born and raised in Austin though, so that may explain a lot. But for what it is, nice song. I can put this in rotation.

Am I the only one thinkin they went a little TOO hard and raspy over this smooth beat? Seems a little out of place to me. I like the beat alot but I think they shoulda went for a more smooth feel for the verses. Just me tho.

@bowwserr - Not at all. Things should be all fixed - so you should be all good - but if when you are about to leave a ratings and there appears to be a rating in place, just log out and log back in then and there. It should remove it. But, like I wrote, it should be all good now!!! Congrats on becoming a "Resident DJ"

This is just as good as All My Life. It could have been better if Game had a verse.

Not my type of song. His flow isn't bad but I don't like his voice, the beat is good, the music so and so. Not bad for sure, but not my cup of tea, either

His flow is beast. Jay Rock and Game come raw. Its a street song what do you expect. It doesn't have to be smooth, it aint no R&B song. Sometimes i wonder if people in here really ever listen to hiphop or just pump R&B.

Been getting into jays music lately and gotta admit that the west coast is starting to come back. He went hard on this one and the production is great to smoke a bleezy to(sorry). I think game shouldve had a verse though.

Jay Rock and the Game go together like peas and mashed potatos, this version sounds much better and I cannot wait for Jay's debut to drop.
