El Capo is a fire right out of the gate. Produced entirely by The Heatmakerz, Jones waxes the streets of New York as he spins stories about what life has been like to him on his Harlem home turf. As each track bears lyrical weight for the Dipset legend, the 16-track record has little to no fillers. The Heatmakerz beats well woven with Jones ‘ delivery pairs, creating a hype-living album.
A list of heavyweights and some longtime collaborators or Jones are featured on the track. They include Fabolous, Jadakiss, Dave East, Rick Ross, Cam’ron, Maino, Fat Joe, Curren$y, Trav, Conway, Fred the Godson, Marc Scibilia, Ball Greezy, Benny the Butcher, and more. This is not a record for those who are not willing to follow the lyricism of the street. As hard as the persona of Jones is, the vulnerability of the rapper is prevalent, particularly on tracks such as “State of the Union” featuring Rick Ross and Marc Scibilia, along with “Good Die Young” featuring Marc Scibilia. Check it out and let us know your thoughts.
