Josh Xantus - Let's Ride ft. Jadakiss
Artist: Josh Xantus
Featuring: Jadakiss
Producer: Lil Wonda [for R.C.E.] and Josh Xantus
Album: Can I Live
Label: M USA Entertainment
Josh Xantus sees himself as a young Stevie Wonder. Pretty big shoes, huh? Well, at just 22 years of age, the versatile musician has already been writing and performing music for over nine years. According to his MySpace page, the Julliard-trained singer/songwriter wants to use his musical gifts to “create timeless music that serves a purpose.” So, does Josh accomplish that with his first single, Let’s Ride? On the heavily synthesized, mid-tempo pop/R&B record, producer Keith “Lil Wonda” Duplessis, whose resume includes work with both Wyclef and T.I., uses Josh’s layered vocal harmonies to carry the track. Accompanied by Roc-A-Fella recording artist, Jadakiss, the song is a perfect fit at radio, but doesn’t exactly sit X-an-tus at the big boys table with Wonder just yet. His debut album, Can I Live, is tentatively scheduled for a February 2009 release.

In the late Night... PAC!!!!! The best there's ever been. I know this sample any day. Josh's voice is alright. I can see this being played in cars everywhere. Jada in my opinion should do this more often. He compliments songs well. I'd play this.

Yes it's catchy but I don't really like its melody, from the verses to the hook...the hook is particularly boring! It's ok

The beat is tight and does sound like a Pac sample up in there the hook could of been more catchy but dude does have a smooth voice plus Jada kills the last verse so this one goes in rotation.
