Jadakiss Takes It Back to the Yonkers, Where it All Started  

One of the best rap voices period

One of the best to ever touch a microphone

i lived all over YO for 10 yrs..i can say jada was on the block and all over just like he said the fame never went to his head (ayo laughin) love is wonderful...100

lol Jada sound like an old mobster reminiscing about the good old days.

Jada: "up the hill down the hill." yonkers is the city of hills

Yonkers Native 💯😏

Born and raised on Lockwood Ave in Yonkers. Love how Jada shows the city and his life. Much respect! The man been through a lot in our city. Much love that he still to this day shows love to the people of Yonkers.

Always had respect for Kiss...real recognize real, Salute!

Jada is a real real dude! Sick on the mic too.

One of the last rappers who were in the streets before rap. Lived it and talked about it. No studio gangsters

Feels amazing to be a part of the community Jadakiss is from im inspired!

At Jadakiss ain't never forgot where he come from,I like that

Ain't a lot of rappers like Jada. Top 5.

Jadakiss is the realest ever much love from east Yonkers

This some real shit! Not too many of these fake ass rappers can do this..

Y.O a crazy place respect to Jada n Lox.

Man Jada that real street dude

JADAKISS 1 OF THE BEST 💛💛💛🌻🌻🌻

this has got to be one of the more interesting blx backstory.. 👍

I'm sure he was selling more but Jada def reminds me of the local weed man 😂😂😂😂😂...I could see him like,"yeah meet me at the tunnel!"

I'm from the X but I'm very familiar with that area, so I'm glad he kept it 100. Rappers never talk about the good, they always speak on the bad like their hood is the worst place ever. That neighborhood was overall safe and nice. I'm sure it had its moments, but at least when I was around there in the late 90s and early 2000s very calm.

"The Yonkers" it's just Yonkers. Jada takes it back to Yonkers.

Jada is the trillest ever and im from the bx respect to yo this Famo from Bay n edenwald Salute OG

I'm sure things be popping off in yonkers because they are the hardest....but glad to see kiss spoke on the positive ....

lol yo those tunnels bring me backkkk. 2nd unit GG was always lit

legendary emcee even more legendary laugh 😄

Woodworms Yonkers

Yonkers is kinda nice but like the ghettos areas like look kinda scary I don’t know

all this black and white makes Yonkers look like the woods of NYC lol

It’s Yonkers not the Yonkers

Looking back at this Jadakiss parents seemed very irresponsible 😭😭 glad he turned out ok tho 👍🏾

All of the focus was put on glorifying our people having to grow up in these conditions, yet I saw a street named after a Marine Lance corporal. Possibly a better role model, yet no focus or attention given to that. Let's be honest, jada is one of the coldest MC's, but he doesn't rap about black empowerment. If anything, about everything that destroys black development and consciousness. He literally was proud of having to stash drugs by the fence... I don't care what anyone says, we all know it's true what I'm saying. How many children living in that environment aren't going to get lucky and land some major record deal and become rich enough to leave that environment? Let's not glorify something that obviously has led to a vicious cycle of generational curses.
