Jermaine Dupri f/ Jadakiss and Freeway "Hate Blood" (2001)

Album: Instructions
Producer: Jermaine Dupri

This beat could make Kitty Pryde sound hardcore; with ominous horn stabs and sound effects that sound like axes swinging, Dupri's beat is one of the darkest he would ever release, and was effectively reused by Max B on his Quarantine tape. The original lineup was a wise one, too. Jada's effortless disdain contrasts perfectly with Freeway's visceral urgency.
