Jadakiss Ft. Mariah Carey

Yonkers bred rap lyricist Jadakiss has currently released two solo albums. His first album "Kiss The Game Goodbye" was released in 2001 and has gone Platinum. His second and current album "Kiss Of Death" was released in 2004 and has also gone platinum.

The past year has found Jadakiss continually in rap listeners ears via a slew of stand out, cameo verses. With rap fans notoriously impatient when artists have long hiatus between albums, the importance of a rapper staying on the radar between albums is essential. No matter what budget is being opened or whats going on in the office, you gotta keep your head above water in the street, explains Jadakiss. You always gotta find out whats coming out, hop on the hot R&B song or a remix or even do a hot featuring with another rapper.

Whether its on mixtapes, appearing on The LOX brethrens solo album or guest spots, the streets never have to hunt very far for the next scorching Jadakiss verse. The past year alone has found him riding shotgun and spitting alongside rap heavyweights that include Nas Made You Look Remix, Jennifer Lopez Jenny from the Block, Ghostface Run and Gang Starr Rite Where You Stand. Besides the stand out verses, Jada also caught the acting bug appearing in the feature film Honey with Mekhi Phifer and Jessica Alba, the BET film Ryde or Die with Vivica Fox and Duane Martin as well as appearing on label mates hit TV show EVE UPN.

An exhaustive portfolio but its all old hat for Jadakiss, after all, he is a rap veteran in all definitions of the word. In the mid-nineties he was a member of the Bad Boy Records family with his group The LOX, formerly The Warlocks. When the relationship eventually soured, the grade school buddies Jadakiss Jason Phillips, Styles David Styles and Sheek Sean Jacobs, in a sense, returned home to become part of the Ruff Ryders Records family. Besides stellar contributions to three Ruff Ryders compilations, the group released an album We Are The Streets, as well as solo offerings from Jadakiss Kiss Tha Game Goodbye and Styles A Gangster and a Gentleman. Now, the focus is another album from Jadakiss, which the streets have been screaming for. If anybody ever followed my career, I was always categorized as one of the top spitters, my rough voice, and my delivery set me aside from everyone else. It just seemed like it was always something missingBut this time Im going to make sure all the chips are in place.
