#EWYN: Jadakiss - Journakiss

Curated By: Elliott Wilson

Lord knows I haven’t always been the kindest when it comes to rappers commandeering the media landscape in recent years. But a scoop is a scoop. Journalism—aka Journakiss—wins again. Jada from Joe & Jada casually let it be known that J. Cole has a mixtape on the way ahead of The Fall Off, dropping Feb. 6.

Since Light Skin Jermaine opted out of the Kendrick-Drake conflict, the internet’s been loud with questions about whether he can still pop his shit. Who’s the Greatest MC in the world? All we really know? Kiss approved Cole rapping over two of his classics, which sent me down a deep rabbit hole of vintage J-to-the-Mwah.

Bet the hood won’t miss you.

The problem is, it’s damn near impossible to keep track of how many classic underground freestyles are actually available on DSPs. But the GOAT of Hip Hop Journalism is here to provide a public service.

Here’s a 50 piece of classic Kiss. Let’s make something happen.
