Throwback Raps: Jayo Felony – Watcha Gonna Do ft. Method Man, DMX
I figured I better post this for historical purposes.
The biggest hit that has ever come from an SD rap artist is Jayo Felony’s “Watcha Gonna Do” featuring Method Man and DMX (and with the fragmentation of the music industry, this is likely gonna stay the biggest hit ever). This is the title track of Jayo’s second album released in 1998 under Def Jam. A few years earlier, Jayo was discovered by the late Jam Master Jay, who put him on, helping craft Jayo’s debut and probably had a good part in landing him on Def Jam. This probably doesn’t represent Jayo’s best talents, nor does it represent SD real hard with all the shouting-out of rappers in other cities. But the fact remains this is SD’s biggest hit. Until someone changes that, respect.
Reading be fun though:
