Jadakiss Talks New Album Top 5 Dead Or Alive
Jadakiss gave his fans a present this season with the release of his first album in 6 years: Top 5 Dead Or Alive. The title begs the question – who are the top 5 MCs of Hip Hop and is ‘kiss one of them? The bust that is featured on the cover of the record and that the man brought with him to the NY1 Chelsea studios suggests Jadakiss feels he has earned a spot. However, when I asked him he said he did not make his own list. He has appeared in a handful of top 5s though that have emerged from prominent MCs since the album dropped; enough to earn him the tag ‘your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper’…
Plenty of features on the new album from Puff Daddy to Jeezy to Nas to Future. Swizz Beatz is featured on the album’s first single Jason. A song that taps into the anger over the seemingly endless string of Eric Garners and Michael Browns – and whose video is featured in this report. Jadakiss is in the juice business these days as well with 3 Juices for Life locations; 2 in The Bronx and 1 in his hometown of Yonkers.
