Jason,” the Swizz Beatz-produced lead single off Jadakiss‘ November album Top 5 Dead or Alive, had a throwback sound, but damn if it wasn’t one of the hardest New York tracks of 2015. After contributing to a couple of excellent joints on The Life of Pablo, Swizz has now brought back the “Jason” instrumental and handed it over to Bronx legend KRS-One.
The Boogie Down emcee drops off an overtly political burst of fury that lasts for just a minute — but long enough to leave a stirring impression. KRS-One just had to tackle this monster instrumental, and it would be a lot of fun if a few more of New York’s elite vets decided to do the same.
Quotable Lyrics
The only way the people listen is when they threatened
So grab your weapon, it’ll be on in a second
Class warfare, yeah we got it all here
The poor gettin’ so poor they cannot even bear
The rich gettin’ so rich they cannot even share
