Something to listen to during the car ride or working out.

Longtime Jada fan who was really looking forward to this release. Good mix of classic ny rap and today's more down south beats all with Jadakiss' masterful bars to go with them. Never change Jada, you truly are T5DOA.

Thanks to Jadakiss for saving REAL hip hop. This album stay in rotation in my truck. I haven't listened to anything else since I bought it. You have to buy this if you love hip hop.

Jadakiss, Top 5 Dead Or Alive, 2015. I bought this online for $10 plus shipping. Best Buy Exclusive CD with 19 tracks, including the bonus track "Baby" produced by Scram Jones and featuring a hook (but no verse) from Dyce Payne. Jadakiss is a very good but IMO not all-time great rapper, and I thought this album confirmed that assessment for me. Production is from a variety of different producers, with Swizz Beatz, Rico Beats, and Scram Jones each producing two tracks. There are lots of average beats, a couple nice ones, and one enormously impressive track called "Realest In The Game" produced by the duo Arkatech Beatz (Trauma D and Jugrnaut, who were formerly known in the late 90's/early 00's for their work with Nas/Raekwon/others as "Infinite Arkatechz"). The beat samples a production music outfit named Two Steps From HeII, known for scoring dramatic movies and movie trailers. "Realest In The Game" is the most visceral and punishing beat I came across in 2015; perhaps the best comparison I could draw is the beat from "Ali Bomaye" by The Game. Young Buck (yes he is still rapping), Sheek Louch, and Jadakiss all do a good job of matching the beat's intensity with energetic verses. Listen first to "Realest In The Game", preferably on a good set of car speakers or over-the-ear headphones... listening to the rest of the album is not a waste, but is optional in comparison.
