Jay Rock looks back at his “battle scars and tribulations” on his new single “The Bloodiest,” the opening song off the rapper’s upcoming album Redemption.
Over a sonorous beat produced by Jake One, Allen Ritter and Boi-1da, Rock reflects on his youth in Watts, California and his rise from slinging “nicks and dimes in ’03” to rapping for a living.
“I’ve been through the bullshit to the pulpit up shit’s creek / Been a nuisance to my OGs / Got a new sense 2018,” Rock raps. “Put that on the Bloodiest / I’m the Bloodiest.”
With Redemption, Rock’s first album since 2015’s 90059, due out next Friday, the rapper also shared the LP’s 13-song tracklist, which includes guests like Top Dawg Entertainment labelmates Kendrick Lamar and SZA, Future, J. Cole and Jeremih.
