Well well, here’s a twist. After months of leaking subpar tracks, Game has found a way to rise to the occasion. All he had to do was enlist a group of A-list features and an equally esteemed producer and the job was virtually done for him. No matter the dismal quality of his recent mixtapes, Game has consistently shown that he is capable of putting out quality, trunk-pounding music and this song is definitely a step in the right direction.
While this is a just a rough version of the track sans Nasir’s vocals, the song shows a very strong, budding chemistry between Game and Jay Electronica. Game’s verse is much stronger than the recent leaks we’ve been subjected to and Jay Elec, as usual, never fails to give each line his all, delivering a stellar verse that is definitely the highlight of this preliminary version.

Am I the only one that thinks Swizz Beatz ruins shit like Kay Slay when he feels the need to speak on a track?
@snidely
nope
Dope, but don’t know about Jay, overrated dude.
And Swizz is idd irritating
Not really feelin this. Beat is annoyin and doesn’t really add anything to the song IMO. Jay goes hard and Game spits a couple sik lines but there was nothing special.
And Swizz is irritatin as hell
underwhelmed
this is 1 ima end up just choppin so it has only Jays verse.
Games become horrible.
it’s nice to see jay electronica rapping, as opposed to doing another VERY IMPORTANT INTERVIEW ABOUT THE STATE OF HIP-HOP. still, put out a damn mix tape dude
This is a pretty good beat though. I always thought Iron Lion Zion was an underrated Bob Marley track.
Swizz Beats sounds terrible. Why is he all muffled and shit?
*plugs ears n closes eyes*
lalalalalala
I think this song is ass, and should’ve been so much more. As I listen to it more…. I think it would’ve been better without Game and Swizz. Damn… that’s most of the song. They should try again.
not a swizz fan. if you have nothin interesting to say, don’t say anything at all.
i liked jay’s verse the best, but i think y’all are too hard on swizz. his ad libs don’t really hurt the song, in my opinion. kinda weird that he tries to make “iron” sound like “higher” when the vocal sample source is so well-known. but other than that, s’cool.
Swizz Beats on this song is like Diddy on the ghost of christopher wallace…unnecessary and annoying
Great song otherwise though
it’s nice to see jay electronica rapping, as opposed to doing another VERY IMPORTANT INTERVIEW ABOUT THE STATE OF HIP-HOP.
