Almost a month ago we reported that “The General” was getting ready to strike back and today we can finally build up to the imminent release of Watts’ own Jag’s second mixtape release in the planned trilogy of projects leading to his album debut. Since we first introduced him back in July 2006 Jag has ensured his name has steadily grown thanks to his constant work ethic and grinding across the local scenes and within the industry. His debut mixtape “”Money Over Fame,” which was released in conjunction with Dubcnn for free download in January of this year, was the first installment in his “Music Money” mixtape series.
The former New York “Fight Klub” competitor kept the mixtape simple ensuring he showcased his skill, mic prescense and lyrics over a blend of original production and mixtape style freestyles. With original production on the mixtape being handled by Ricc Rude, 1500 Or Nothing, THX, The Animal House, Notch, and DJ Prosper it was evident the musical talent was there and Jag made sure he delivered his multi-dimensional persona.
Today we are back with more news and audio from the sequel mixtape in the “Music Money” series entitled “Tha General Strikes Back.” Last month we released the first track that had just been mixed and mastered called Check Out My Swag which features a bass heavy, club friendly instrumental produced by The Animal House with a Jay-Z sampled hook.
In this update we have an incredible new record from “Volume 2” in this series entitled “One Day” which features the vocal talents of BJ The Chicago Kid whom many will remember appeared in our recent Behind The Scenes Feature With Westurn Union as well as various updates. The new track is produced by DJ Prosper and will be one of two new songs on “Tha General Strikes Back” that feature BJ The Chicago Kid, the second being the Kanye West produced “You Gotta Believe” – yes you read that right; Watts’ own Jag got a beat from Kanye!
