Smoke DZA Brings Cam’ron & Jim Jones Together For “Tradition”

Smoke DZA’s new album Homegrown does a fantastic job of getting the right features on the same track. We’re talking about an album that has Flipp Dinero and Jadakiss on the same song and Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, and Big K.R.I.T. on another.

It’s no surprise, then, that DZA opted to open his album in the best possible way by getting Dipset’s finest together again on a track.

There is no trend-hopping here, no autotune or trap drums. This is a classic New York City no hook spit-through, with all three rappers doing their thing as the sample rides on in a triumphant loop.

As Cam’ron says in the song, “who am I to f*ck tradition up?”

Check out “Tradition” below and let us know what you think in the comments below. Are you feeling the cypher vibes?

Quotable Lyrics

So where should I start, with the bricks or the drip?
Cause every brick that I flipped I used to drip to my kicks
Then they told me go out of town cause I could triple my flip
You know, a few quick trips and I could get to the whips
Gotta watch the stick up kids, they got a issue with this
So if you a n***a getting money, you keep the grip on your hip
Remember around 7, I would wish I was rich
Then I would drive by 7th, I used to wish I was Rich
Well let’s just say that I completed every wish on my list

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”

Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
