No word as to this track’s origins but according to Team Supreme, it’s supposedly produced by Kanye. It most certainly starts off with the same first verse from an oldie. And you thought the game was over?

Dame’s cuz is making her rounds as your favorite rapper’s leading lady. Earlier this week, she was featured in Game’s “Shake” and now you can expect her riding along with Rick Ross for his “Super High”. VIBE caught up with the 44-year-old MILF to discuss working with both.

What’s your role in the video? [Ross]
I play the video vixen. I’m in a Lamborghini and he pulls up on me. I’m not having a good time with my man and he’s like ‘Come with me.’ There’s about 20 guys in Harley bikes surrounding me. I’m like ‘Heck yeah, I’m getting on the bike!’

What about Game, how’d that video happen?
We did a movie together [a year ago]—that I’m pretty sure is not coming out—and became friends. So you know, he called me and said ‘Please’ and I said ‘Okay.’

Jadakiss Previews The Champ Is Here 3 

Friday, April 30 2010 6:19 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Focus

As the clock nears the release of Jadakiss’ mixtape The Champ Is Here 3, he gives 1515 an early look. Below, Kiss delivers a breakdown of a few tracks and reveals the title of his next album, Top 5, Dead Or Alive.

“Bang” “You know what I’m spitting already,” Jada laughed. “That’s self-explanatory. The content is just fight dialogue, workout dialogue, getting ready for the fight. What I’ll do to you before or after the fight.”

“Here I Go” (featuring Yo Gotti) “Yo Gotti is poppin,” Jada said. “He’s been doing his thing for a while in the South. I feel he’s an underdog like me. He do his thing but he don’t get the props he should get. Those are the people I rock with the hardest. He don’t care, he knows what he’s doing despite what anybody might think. I respect him for that.”

“It’s a problem man,” Dram concurs. “We wanted to give them something they wasn’t expecting and haven’t heard. The beat on ‘Here I Go,’ it felt right. Mystikal is home. We used his beat.”

“Who Shot Ya?” “Rest in peace B.I.G. Big shout to Nasheem,” Kiss — who rapped over Biggie’s classic track, said. “You can’t really play with that. I took shots at y’all [the MTV Hip-Hop Brain Trust] on there … Not really, just getting y’all back. Big up to them ["Hottest MCs in the Game"] lists. I don’t let them lists discourage me because the people who make the list, the people who’s on the lists, [watch out for my] new album, Top Five, Dead or Alive.

UPDATE: Now with cover. Tmw at noon.
