Jay Rock And Bongo ByTheWay Come Through With Epic Horn-Backed Single “Still That Way”

by

Jay Rock’s career has been at a bit of a standstill since 2018. However, he is looking to return to form very soon. Over the past several months, the Cali rapper has been treating fans to some singles. But, these are not just loosies, these will be a part of his upcoming record.

There is not a ton of knowledge about his fourth studio album right now. What we do know is that is expected to drop sometime next year. In addition to that, we have the cover art and a few singles. Jay put out the first teaser to it with “Too Fast (Pull Over)” with Anderson .Paak and Latto.

Listen To “Still That Way” By Jay Rock And Bongo ByTheWay

Since then, Jay has released two more tracks, including a YouTube-exclusive freestyle. Now, he is back with a new cut from Eastside with “Still That Way.” This one features production from Bongo ByTheWay. While Jay is bringing loads of energy, the highlight is the horn-backed beat. It adds to the speaker-thumping feeling and it might be the best single from the project so far.

What are your initial thoughts on Jay Rock and Bongo ByTheWay’s brand-new single, “Still That Way?” Is this Jay’s best single from his upcoming record, Eastside Johnny*? Will this be the best album he has ever put out? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Blood on my hands, ain’t no dirt on my body
Whip big body (Big)
Spin the block, it’ll be a real big problem (Bop)
Whole lot of products (Woo)
B****, that’s somethin’, you don’t know nothin’ ’bout it (No)
Still that way, you n****s ain’t built that way (Nah)

Jay Rock And Ab-Soul Collab For The First Time In Eight Years On “Blowfly”

by

If we told you that two collaborators who are part of a rap group together hardly ever put out music, would you believe us? Well, hopefully, you did because that is the case with Jay Rock and Ab-Soul. The posse they are in is Black Hippy and it includes Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q as well. Jay and Ab have not hit the studio since Rock’s 2015 record, 90059.

Ironically, it was the track that Jay got his other three members together for “Vice City.” Since then, he and Ab-Soul have not made a song. Now, the drought finally ends with another single from Eastside Johnny*, “Blowfly.” Jay announced this on his Instagram a couple of days ago. “Me and my brotha @souloho3 coming with some heat this Friday 😤 Y’all better get ready for this!! 💯💯 #ESJ#TDE#Blowfly.”

Listen To “Blowfly” From Jay Rock And Ab-Soul

We did propose that this could be one of the best singles of the year. The reason is, that both of them can rap and bring unique flows. However, at least on first listen, it does not totally live up to expectations. One of the biggest downsides to the track is that Ab-Soul performs the hook and that is it. Jay handling the verses is fine, but it would have been great to hear both have verses. Let us know what you think by giving it a spin.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single from Jay Rock and Ab-Soul, “Blowfly?” Is this the best single from Rock’s upcoming album, Eastside Johnny*? Are you happy or disappointed with how Rock and Ab-Soul made this song, especially after a long gap of no collaborations? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Quotable Lyrics:

I guarantee to get you what you need, just believe in me
We finna be countin’ up somewhere in a Airbnb
After we smoke, we gon’ meditate for the energy
I promise not to give you a hard time like the DMV
Just hard rock all up in them guts, make your heart stop
Bring it back to life in the backseat of this hard-top

Jay Rock Reveals He Will Be Dropping A New Song With Ab-Soul This Friday

by

Two parts of the Black Hippy rap group are gearing up for a big-time single coming very soon. The members we are talking about are Jay Rock and Ab-Soul. Both artists are known to be fairly infrequent when it comes to pushing out new material. However, that has not been the case as of late. Just last year Ab put out his first record in six years with HERBERT. Then, just a few weeks ago, he and T.F joined up for a single, “Hidden Stages.” For Jay Rock, he is getting closer and closer to ending his album drought.

The Los Angeles, California rapper’s last effort was in 2018 with Redemption. Since then, he has been a part of a single with REASON called “At It Again – Remix.” Following that he put out two tracks that are expected to land on his upcoming LP, Eastside Johnny*. There is no word on the release date, but hopefully, the time is near. Jay teamed up with Kal Banx on “Eastside,” and then with Anderson .Paak and Latto on, “Too Fast (Pull Over).” Finally, just a few weeks back he dropped some personal bars on a YouTube exclusive freestyle.

Now, we might be getting another taster from Rock’s project this Friday, October 20. He took to Instagram to reveal the news. He posted a picture with him and Ab-Soul with a caption. It reads, “Me and my brotha @souloho3 coming with some heat this Friday 😤 Y’all better get ready for this!! 💯💯 #ESJ#TDE#Blowfly.” This has potential to be one of the best drops of the year so be ready to tune into HNHH for our reaction to it.

What are your initial thoughts on this upcoming brand-new song from Jay Rock and Ab-Soul? Will this track wind up on Jay’s forthcoming record, Eastside Johnny*?

Jay Rock Is Taking Control Of His Life On New “Ambition (Freestyle)”

by

One of the first members of TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment), Jay Rock, has remained fairly dormant over the past five years or so. The last full-length offering we heard from him was his 2018 record, Redemption. You had solid tracks on there. From “The Bloodiest,” “OSOM” with J. Cole, to “Wow Freestyle” with Kendrick Lamar, there was plenty of quality to be heard. Since then, though, Rock has put on some loose collaborations and singles. However, we did hear some rumblings that the West Coast artist would be dropping a new project soon.

We do not know any dates yet, but the album is expected to be called Eastside Johnny. Rock might have given us two lead singles from this LP earlier this year. The fun hit “Too Fast (Pull Over)” with Latto and Anderson .Paak, with production from Mustard, was released in July. Then, before that, was “Eastside” with Kal Banx. Now, we could possibly be hearing the third track with “Ambition (Freestyle).”

Listen To “Ambition (Freestyle)” From Jay Rock

The song is only about a minute and a half long but Rock makes the most of the short runtime. He spits very aggressively and with urgency. Jay wants to make it clear that he is on his own path to success and he is going to do whatever it takes. “No myth, no fable, witness the rise of a beast / Gotta live it up, you only get one / Nothing’s impossible, I’m grinding ’til the mission is done.” Hopefully, that mission is dropping his new album, because it is sounding great so far.

What are your initial thoughts on Jay Rock’s newest single, “Ambition (Freestyle)?” Do you think this will make the final cut for his upcoming album Eastside Johnny? When do you believe we will get this project? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this.

N****s ain’t loving the fake

Jay Rock Thinks That Kendrick Lamar’s Leaked Verse On “ELEMENT.” Is Real

by

Just a couple of weeks ago the music community was scrambling to hear a new leaked version of a song. But this was just any artist, though. This track belonged to arguably the greatest rapper of this generation and one of the best to ever do it, Kendrick Lamar. The song that had people in a frenzy was a hit from his 2017 record, DAMN. “ELEMENT.” is a fan favorite off of that tape and it is well-deserving of all of that praise. Some people were skeptical if it was real, due to the recent AI surge in music, but TDE signee, Jay Rock believes it is actually K Dot’s.

The leaked edition of the record was making waves on Twitter, with the audio having over 16 million plays. Unfortunately, you are not able to play it anymore due to copyright. The reason for all of the buzz around it was because the Compton artist took ruthless shots at his contemporaries. French Montana, Jay Electronica, and Big Sean. The Detroit rapper took the bulk of the disses with Lamar calling Sean out for being famous for who he is with, rather than his music. “You’re finally famous for who you date, not how you rhyme (boy).”

To settle the debate on whether or not the track was real, who better to ask than someone close to him? Jay Rock hopped on the Real 92.3 radio station and The Cruz Show for an interview. The host asked him if the leaked verse was indeed Kendrick and here is what he had to say. “I think it’s real man,” Rock repeatedly says. Hopefully, one day Lamar will officially release the original song, but only time will tell.

What are your initial thoughts on Jay Rock saying that the leaked version of Kendrick Lamar’s “ELEMENT.” verse was real? Did you believe that is was not AI, or did you think otherwise? Do you want that version to come out on streaming? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Jay Rock, Anderson .Paak, And Latto Are Living The ‘Too Fast’ Life In Their New Video

by

In the streaming era, songs longer than three minutes feel like an anomaly. Even more rare today are rap songs with three verses. But tonight, Jay Rock, Anderson .Paak, and Latto brought back what the game has been missing for a while.

On their new collaboration “Too Fast (Pull Over),” Jay, Anderson, and Latto can’t help but party it up and toast to their accomplishments.

Though he’s been doing more singing lately — particularly with his Bruno Mars collaborative side project, Silk Sonic — Anderson makes a return to rap, with a catchy chorus.

“Pull ovеr, that ass too fast / Hit the ATM and grab more cash / Yеs, lord, feelin’ like a new man,” he says.

Though Jay hasn’t put out an album since 2018’s Redemption, he reminds us that he hasn’t left the building at all.

“Send a stepper up the stairway to heaven / Put a pole dancer in a Mercedes / She wanna watch P Valley and go half on a baby,” raps Jay in his verse.

In the video, as guests are partying in a pool at a mansion, Latto is seen dancing on the aforementioned pole on the Mercedes. She also reminds us that she’s not going to let any haters faze her or let anyone use her name for clout.

“B*tches want the come up, ain’t gon’ give ’em one / Pull up in the, ‘Skrrt,’ then I pull off in a different one / A bigger one, expensive one, the Lamby or somethin’ / Pull the switch on their ass like a Grammy or somethin’” she raps.

You can see the “Too Fast (Pull Over)” video above.

Anderson .Paak is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
