Especially Smooth: K. Michelle’s ‘V.S.O.P.’ Remix feat. Jadakiss

Jadakiss was one of the standout rappers of the ’90s, but it’s been awhile since he’s released a major record. The Lox artist has been working on a new project, but there’s still no official release date. However that doesn’t mean that he has not been releasing new music. Kiss has appeared on a few remixes of late, and now we have his latest offering. Kiss, along with Ted Smooth, took over the remix of “Love & Hip-Hop” star K. Michelle’s new song “V.S.O.P.” According to missinfo.tv:

“After flipping Drake and Jay Z’s ‘Pound Cake’ into ‘Hood Cake”’with his LOX partners-in-rhyme last month, Jadakiss returns on his solo dolo to remix K.Michelle’s ‘V.S.O.P.’ With Ted Smooth stripping down the orchestral production while adding extra punch to the drums, Al Qaeda Jada compliments the sprinkling keys with those quintessentially raspy street rhymes.”

Jadakiss’ new album, “Top 5 Dead Or Alive,” will hopefully be released before the end of the year. With artists like Wale and Pusha T swinging the pendulum back to more traditional rap, now might be the best time for Jadakiss’ return.

Until then, check out the K. Michelle and Jadakiss “V.S.O.P.” remix below.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
