Jay Rock on Confusion over “The Three J’s” Collaboration with JAY-Z & J. Cole




This weekend, TDE is celebrating Jay Rock’s new album, Redemption. Last month, reports surfaced that Rock had tapped JAY-Z for a collaborative track on his then-upcoming project.
Well, when the album released, many wondered what happened with the alleged track. Luckily, the TDE rapper directly clarified confusion regarding Jay – which was misinterpreted a few weeks ago. He broke down how he wanted to do a record entitled The Three J’s,” also featuring J. Cole.
If S. Dot wasn’t available for the affair, he’d feel Jay Electronica is a suitable substitution on the cut. Surprisingly, he hasn’t ruled out the option for the future to pitch to those fellow emcees; which we’re sure the fans will remember the next time he’s ready to release his senior album.
For now, we have Redemption to enjoy, as you can take a look at part of his conversation with Complex below. Let us know what you think of the idea from Watts Rock.
Somebody misinterpreted what I said. I said I wanted a Hov verse! I wanted it because the record with me and Cole… see, people… you know, I was lit that night. Please forgive me. I was kinda lit. I always wanted to do a record called, “The Three J’s,” because you got me, Jay Rock, you got J. Cole, and you got Jay Z. I thought that it would be dope. I said, if I couldn’t get Jay Z, we’ll get Jay Electronica. They must have misinterpreted it when I said it because I said, “I always wanted to do a Jay record with Jay Z but I got the other J on this one.” But I didn’t ever say J. Cole so everybody thought, “Oh, he got a record with Jay Z.” So you know, people were just running with it.

JAY-Z Calls Out Philly Mayor Over ‘Made in America’ Move

JAY-Z  has written an op-ed for the The Philadelphia Inquirer, after Philly mayor Jim Kenney stopped Made in America from taking place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in 2019. “We are disappointed that the mayor of the city of Philadelphia would evict us from the heart of the city, through a media outlet, without a sit-down meeting, notice, dialogue, or proper communication,” JAY said. “It signifies zero appreciation for what Made In America has built alongside the phenomenal citizens of this city. In fact, this administration immediately greeted us with a legal letter trying to stop the 2018 event.”
