JAY-Z Cleared A 12 Million Dollar Debt To Def Jam For DMX

JAY-Z cleared a 12 million dollar debt to Def Jam owed by Ruff Ryders.

During a recent interview with “The Breakfast Club“, Ruff Ryders co-founders Chivon, Waah, and Dee Dean revealed how JAY-Z allowed DMX to leave Def Jam without having to pay a 12 million dollar debt owed to the company.

JAY-Z cleared debt for DMX and Ruff Ryders

“What had happened was JAY-Z called DMX and told him, ‘The inmates have took over the prison.'”Dean said. “And when your man JAY-Z got in position, X felt that he didn’t honor him in a proper way and hold weight like he was supposed to.” They then added that their egos got the best of them once JAY became president of Def Jam in 2004, which led to their beef.

“The good part about Def Jam — and I gotta give it to Hov — X was in debt over there. He probably owed about $12 million,” Dean revealed. When DMX left Def Jam for Sony, he said that Hov “released him and wiped off the debt clean and let him go. He didn’t have to pay nothing back.”

We can add this to the list of several good deeds done by the MaNyFacedGod rapper. Never change, JAY-Z.

“The Light Pack” by Joey Bada$$ (Review)

Joey Bada$$ makes his highly anticipated return to hip-hop with with a concise 3-track EP, The Light Pack. This is his first release since the critically-acclaimed album, All-Amerikkkan Bada$$ in 2017.

The Light

“Yo! Mic check of the Gods, n***a!”are the first words first you hear on this EP and rightfully so. Joey gets down to business on the Statik Selektah -produced track. In the song he talks about what he’s been through during his 3-year hiatus while using themes of light and dark, referring to the soul. He flexed his elite lyricism on the second verse when he spit:

“Unstoppable if it’s divinely guided
I’m like Mahatma Gandhi mixed Muhammad Ali
Trapped in a rapper’s body
Another old soul, in every lifetime you find me
My angels who surround me
N****s was frontin’, now they all behind me”

The Badmon is officially back.

No Explanation

This Pusha T-assisted track is the lead single and it is also co-produced by the legendary Swizz Beatz and Sean C & LV. No Explanation is dedicated to the mind, as evident by the pre-chorus:

“Been in my mind lately, yeah, been in my mind
So harder to find lately, harder to find”

Iron sharpens iron. The 2 MCs trade razor-sharp verses with Joey taking the first and third, with Pusha T’s sandwiched in between.

Shine

The final track off the project is Shine. Like The Light, this track is also produced by Statik Selektah. The producer shines on this while sampling the classic Roy Ayers’s 1976 classic “Everybody Loves The Sunshine”. Joey Bada$$ effortlessly glides on this track centered on the body. This is the most introspective song from the EP.

In closing, The Light Pack a very solid EP to whet our appetites for when the official album drops later this year.

8.5 out of 10
