Sheesh. When you still got it, you still got it. Fat Joe and Jadakiss gave fans an early listen to their new record âAroma,â and the response was instant. The legendary duo debuted the track during a packed episode of their Joe & Jada podcast, sparking plenty of conversation about what could become one of the summerâs standout releases. And for the record, their pod is a natural vehicle to introduce new music, and the way they turned the studio up, it worked out as intended.
âAromaâ brings together Fat Joe, Jadakiss, and Stove God Cooks, who delivers the hook, while longtime hitmakers Cool & Dre handle the production with a hard-hitting backdrop that fits the recordâs street energy.
The listening session turned into a full celebration once DJ Khaled got involved. Never one to hold back, Khaled filled the room with his trademark catchphrases, blasted the air horn, and had everyone dancing as the track played, adding to the excitement surrounding the first preview.
The song is also fueling conversation for another reason. Fans have zeroed in on one of Jadakissâ verses, with many believing it addresses recent comments from 38 Spesh. The Rochester rapper recently said he had the best verse on Benny The Butcherâs âSunday School,â a track that also featured Jadakiss, and claimed Jadakiss had avoided working with him since then.
Anyway, “Aroma” is a much-needed influx of authentic Hip Hop this summer, outside of, you know, who from Toronto froze the world.
