Jadakiss just returned from a 6-year album drought to release his long-awaited Top 5 Dead or Alive album, which featured versatile singles featuring everyone from Swizz Beatz and Ne-Yo to Nipsey Hussle and Future. The hiatus did little to kill Jadakiss’s hype–he’s remained relevant through mixtapes and features, and remains one of the best rappers New York has ever seen–and as proof of that, he sold over 66,000 copies in his first week, proving that no matter what happens, the game will always need to be Kiss’d.
To commemorate his incredible longevity, Kiss graced the cover of our 2015 Holiday Issue, and above is some exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of our cover shoot with the Yonkers emcee in New York City.
