Ta-ku x Jaden Smith – Beast Mode

For the past few months Jaden Smith has been getting major support from blogs and larger media outlets alike. I was beginning to think that the Smith family was slipping blogger’s funds for posts (they can’t really be taking this kid seriously). But today I was forced to change my thinking. Seeing a collab between Jaden and immensely talented Australian producer Ta-ku completely changed my stance. Not only is the production on point, combining hazy jazz samples and soulful loops for a classic hip-hop sound, but Jaden goes in. ‘Beast Mode’ is 3 tracks seamlessly mixed together for a near 9 minute final product. His flow is crazy smooth and the bars are on point ranging from humorous punchlines to social commentary. I don’t want to admit it, but this is actually really dope. Maybe Jaden does have some serious potential…I mean there was once a time when people thought Drake would never be taken seriously as a rapper.
