After dropping his latest album 90059 in 2015, Jay Rock has dropped a new single titled “Win” – which is presumably the second single for his upcoming album Redemption, the lead single being “King’s Dead”. The confident and energetic single “Win” features TDE label-mate Kendrick Lamar on ad-libs heard throughout both the verses and the chorus.
Produced by Vinylz and Boi-1da, the strongest instrumental highlight is the expansive horn and trumpet lead that is heard above the rest of the track, accompanied by frequent hi-hats and crisp snares. These featured sounds heard throughout the track support the overall uplifting and proud theme of the song, as Jay Rock raps about being a “winner” in the rap game.
As we have heard on other tracks by Jay Rock, listeners often find him repeating catchy, rhythmic sequences that are used to tie the transitions between the verses and the chorus together. “Win” is no exception to this pattern, as its catchiness and upbeat flow effectively showcase Jay Rock’s talent in a bright and energetic way.
