Jadakiss and Beanie Sigel collaboration is official as the two iconic rappers announced they are squashing their long-standing beef to join forces on a new album titled Kiss the Mack. The project will be executive produced by Freeway and marks a historic moment in hip-hop, bringing together two artists who famously feuded in the 2000s.
In a video shared on social media, Jadakiss told fans, “We letting it out the bag. It’s coming, it’s coming. We’ll see you real soon. We about to f*ck the world up. Free executive producing. Since they made so many billions off us, now we making billions off ourselves.”
Fans quickly reacted on Reddit, expressing excitement over the reunion. One user commented, “Anything Jada touches is fire so im sure this’ll be good. He’s never phoned in a verse in his entire career.” Another added, “That’s crazy. Would’ve never believed this would happen before 2020.”
Fans are also curious about how Beanie Sigel will sound, given his 2014 injury affected his vocal tone. Some speculate AI technology could help bring back the “old Beans” voice. In a 2023 interview with DJUTV, Beanie revealed he has been experimenting with AI to capture his pre-injury voice.
He said, “And I think I found a good friend with this AI thing. Yeah. A lot of people frown on AI, but I think that’s gonna work for me. It’s definitely for me. Y’all want, what they say, the ‘old Beans’ back? ‘Cause the pen’s still there.”
The Jadakiss and Beanie Sigel feud started in 2001, with each rapper trading verses in songs that became legendary in the hip-hop community. On Jadakiss’ track Un Hunh!, he rapped, “N***s can’t fck with Kiss, I meanie that / Had to stop eatin’ red meat cause I ate too many Beanie-Macs.”
The feud lasted for years but now ends with the duo collaborating, turning one of rap’s most notorious rivalries into a historic partnership.
Details on the release date for Kiss the Mack are still under wraps. The album will mark Jadakiss’ first project since 2020’s Ignatius and Beanie Sigel’s first since 2012’s This Time. Fans can expect hard-hitting verses, nostalgic references, and top-tier production with Freeway at the helm.
The collaboration has already created a buzz across social media, reminding fans of the era when East Coast rap dominated the charts and rivalries defined the culture.
