Hear Jadakiss's New Freestyle Over Raekwon's Classic "Incarcerated Scarfaces" Beat

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Weekends have become a very real treat for fans of Jadakiss ever since the MC embarked on a string of new freestyle releases, each one of laid down atop a classic hip-hop beat from the greatest of golden eras. Only two weeks ago Jadakiss joined Fabolous for a brave spin on Nas's classic "Life's A Bitch," and now we've been bestowed with a redux of Raekwon's "Incarcerated Scarfaces" off of the unimpeachible 1995 LP Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...

And how does the Lox soldier do over such a smooth RZA-produced beat? Pretty damn well if we do say so ourselves. Jadakiss's is as together as ever and after paying homage to the Chef with a direct reproduction of the hook the MC proceeds to stunt at a sharp and agile clip. It's got us pining for more--isn't it time we got a brand new 'Kiss LP?

Listen to the new Raekiss/Jadakwon freestyle below and be on the lookout for some excellent new Lox content headed your way soon. The group did indeed make an appearance at last weekend's 8th Annual Roots Picnic, and a little bird has told us that video evidence just might surface? Stay tuned to find out more.
