Continuing to drop the accompanying visuals for the tracks from his 13th album, God Did, DJ Khaled and Jadakiss have shared the video for their collaboration, “Jadakiss Interlude.”
On the track, Jada reminds us that he’s New York royalty, delivering fiery bars over a soulful, James Brown-sampling instrumental. Jada finds himself in several landmarks and items symbolic of New York City throughout the song.
“I’m the bullet that struct your limbs / I’m white Air Force Ones, I’m construction Timbs / I’ma do whatever it takes, just enough to win / I’m the one that your man told you not to fuck with him /I’m the single-parent household with nothin’ in the ‘frigerator / Pissy staircases, smell like the incinerator / Grandma in the back hooked up to the ventilator / Tryna chip in and see if we can get some dinner later,” raps Jada.
In the video, Khaled and Jada are seen taking over Yonkers, from where Jada hails. Khaled is seen hyping Jada up as he spits rhymes in front of a food mart, and shoots dice in the street corners.
Earlier this week, Khaled also dropped videos for “Beautiful” with Future and SZA and “Big Time” with Future and Lil Baby.

Rowdy Rebel’s debut album, Rowdy Vs. Rebel, is out now on Epic Records. Its release is accompanied by the video for “New York,” an anthemic ode to Rowdy’s hometown, which includes a pair of fellow Big Apple dwellers: A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Yonkers legend Jadakiss.
Over a cavernous beat backed by skittering snares and a chest-thumping kick drum, the three rappers toast the big city, detailing their conquests and tribulations — which they naturally attribute to their gruff, city-bred demeanor. Meanwhile, A Boogie borrows from Jada’s own history, referencing the Lox rapper’s own 2004 Ja Rule and Fat Joe collaboration by the same name. Jada himself shows off his versatility, adapting his normally traditional flow to incorporate the melodic sensibilities of his collaborators — and because it’s Jadakiss, it works very well.
“New York” is the third single from Rowdy Vs. Rebel. It was preceded by the self-titled lead single and the June release “Woo Nina.” Prior releases “Jesse Owens” with NAV and “9 Bridge” with A Boogie do not appear on the official release but the 17-track project does have features from Dreezy, Fivio Foreign, and French Montana.
