Jay Rock - Still in the Hood
Artist: Jay Rock
Featuring: 50 Cent , Trae The Truth
Producer: Dem Joints
Album: TBD
Label: TDE/Strange Music
This just in: West Coast mainstay Jay Rock, formerly a staunch representative of the streets, has left the big-city hustle and bustle behind to start a new life as a small-town farmer. OK, OK, that was a lie – and I should probably lay off the Green Acres reruns. Though the freestyle series alumnus has left Warner Bros. for Tech N9ne‘s Strange Music label, fans can rest assured that he’s Still in the Hood, hustling as hard as ever. On this hard-nosed banger, a synth-sizzling instrumental by Dem Joints (centered around a sample from 50 Cent‘s Fully Loaded Clip) backs Rock as he emphasizes that he is, was and forever shall be gutter as f**k. On the back, Lone Star State representative Trae tha Truth steps up to the mic to raspily pay tribute to his own home streets, describing himself as “The only one real enough to bring the ‘hood to wherever.” Like what you’re hearing? Then keep it locked: while this cut has yet to be attached to any forthcoming project, we in the Booth will be sure to let you know when and if that changes.

If you're going to make a record and title it "Still in the Hood," you better a) still be in the hood, b) have a street-centric beat on your hands, and c) reach out to a certified street artist. Thankfully, Jay covered all his based. Not my favorite record of his, but something that should attract an audience.

Hard hard hard hard hard. If you're looking for some of that aggressive fight music, you've found a new record to throw down to.

I like it. Jay Rock is pretty good to be honest, better than I expected him to be.

It is great to hear from 50. The opening verse is very hard. The production is FIRE!!! The chorus of 50 is very catchy. There is no way this isnt a straight BANGER!!!
