Jo Compadre – So Soulful (feat. Jadakiss, Anthony Bailey, & DJ Intellect) [Single + Video]

From the blocks of Montreal’s Centre-Sud /Ville Marie, Jo Compadre spins his life into the threads of hip-hop with his latest track, “So Soulful” – a track that marries his Dominican heritage with the ice cold spirit of the medium. A collaboration with the acclaimed emcee Jadakiss and sculpted by producer Anthony Bailey, this cut mixes soulful samples with hard-pounding beats – a contrast that speaks to life’s battles and its wins.

In his verses, Compadre doesn’t dress up the truth; steering clear of exaggerated street tales. Backed by a soul sample that’s more soul riff than melody, the track’s rhythm is a blend of thudding kicks and 808 claps that hit like life’s own punches. Anthony Bailey‘s production chops shine, creating a sound that’s both immediate and enduring. And the simple yet gripping video captures a slice of Jo‘s life as he and his people trek through the streets of New York City before meeting up with Jada in a swanky spot.

Having recently come across “So Soulful,” I’ve gotten a real taste of what Jo Compadre brings to the table. It’s a clear showcase of his talent, his unique vision, and that relentless drive of his. This is definitely a standout piece from the fresh wave of rap coming out of Montreal.
