Artists Killa Kherk Cobain a.k.a. Unicorn and BandmanRill always represent New Jersey, and their distinctive hip-hop sound is well-known to New Jersey hip-hop lovers. Both have been consistent key players in the Jersey Club scene, with Killa Kherk Cobain releasing successful single, “Mexsicko City,” featuring DJ K-SHiZ, and BandmanRill releasing “Heartbroken,” which has gained over a million streams on YouTube. Now, both rappers follow up the success of their previous singles with their latest release, “Jack N Drill” produced by AceMula.
An upbeat dance track, “Jack N Drill” starts with horns blazing over the dance track, with the beat dropping in notable Jersey Club fashion – with booming 808s and fluttering high hats. As soon as the beat explodes, BandmanRill raps his verse, with memorable lines “Don’t hit my phone if it ain’t ’bout the funds,” with a strong flow and gritty lyrics. After his verse, Killa Kherk Cobain’s deep voice cuts through the track, as he proudly boasts that he’s “from Newark, New Jersey,” and “I scurt off in an SRTG/PTSD make me scream in my sleep.” The entire song brags about BandmanRill and Killa Kherk Cobain’s street credibility as the beat and horns blaze underneath. The video supplements the song perfectly, with dancers performing Jersey Club dances as BandmanRIll and Killa Kherk Cobain rap their lyrics.
New Jersey native, King of Jerzey, has dropped fiery visuals for his latest project, “Calling.” The song starts with a phone call of his girlfriend breaking up with him, nonchalantly saying, “Hey um… I don’t think this gone work. It’s not you, it’s me. I think we should see other people, so I guess this is goodbye.” As the chorus begins, King of Jerzey sings in front of a yellow background with floating phones, proclaiming, “Girl I know you see me calling. Imma change your contact name, I don’t got time for these games/Girl you see me calling.”
Throughout the entire music video, King of Jerzey sings to his now ex-girlfriend with a bouquet of flowers in a house as she ignores his pleas. After he continues to sing and beg for her to answer the phone, in the second chorus he realizes, “That’s why you never trust a squeezer/I guess A Boogie was right DTB, for life,” referencing Bronx rapper, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s piano anthem, “DTB,” abbreviation for “don’t trust b*tches.” At the end of the video after the chorus fades, his ex-girlfriend finally calls, saying “That new song though, vibes! How you been?” He hangs up the call, giggling and saying, “yea aigh” as he leaves the house.
With his sing-song rap flow, King of Jerzey’s “Calling” is a catchy hip-hop breakup anthem, with a positive twist at the end as he finally moves on from his heartache.
