To see an OG in the hip-hop scene talk about his pain is refreshing, and shows anyone should feel able to without feeling ashamed. “Keep sayin' that I'm fine, but the pain is my mind/I can get the money back, but you was playin' with time” is a line that resonates, as many artists shy away from speaking about their true emotions. The beat is slow-tempo and punchy, with evocative instrumentation – the subtle piano in the background elevates the emotional pain Jadakiss is describing, subtly infusing blues into a classic hip-hop sound. ‘Catch & Release’ is one of the few solo tracks for Jadakiss here, showcasing his tangible emotional connection to music, and speaking on the hardship of relationships and the pain of heartbreak. Ty Dolla $ign being from the City of Angels adds more to this mood, his smooth voice bringing the laid back vibes while Jadakiss stays true to his East Coast roots by imparting his raw and gritty flow. With the use of a bouncing beat and subtle synthesiser, it creates a G-funk style atmosphere, conjuring up visuals of riding in a low-rider with the top down, head-nodding in the sun city of LA, not a care in the world.

This line on the track, establishes a self-awareness that the hip-hop scene’s been waiting a while for Kiss to release some new music in an oversaturated industry. “You get the picture, I just gotta finish the caption/Still raspy so you don't gotta keep askin'”. His voice is so bassy it overpowers the slow beat, commanding attention to the lyrics he is rapping, while still emphasising the beauty of the down tempo rhythm. Opener ‘Pearly Gates’ introduces us to Jadakiss’ familiar raspy vocals, beginning with a slow-tempo piano beat, reminiscent of his previous material – very New York.
