Last week, Jada talked about his longevity in the rap game and what keeps him relevant.

In a genre filled with perpetual one-upmanship, getting in the upper echelon ain’t easy. Jadakiss’s secret to his 22-year career is surprisingly simple: “You just gotta keep it organic,” he says. “As long as you keep it organic, they’ll accept. They know when you getting outta your element. They can tell.” (Village Voice)

With his new Top 5 Dead or Alive album currently available, Kiss plans on releasing another project in the coming months.

“The fans, the kids, they want more content, so the long [recording] gaps that I usually take won’t work right now. Imma try and give them two albums in one year.” He’s not leaving you nostalgic heads out, either. Jada teases that he’s “going to do some joints together” with former Ruff Ryders labelmate DMX (who was recently released from prison). “It’s only right. That’s family. That’s the dog!” (Village Voice)

  1. Adele old CD (21) is top 10 again or was that a mistake? Plus Taylor swift CD been out for what 13months also still top 10…its a white girls world!!!

    • Nah doubt its a mistake, her new album just sold 2.4 mil, so of course the album that came out before that is gonna catch a few more sales. It’s like the aftershock when an earthquake hits.
