Ignatius will be Jada’s first studio album since 2015’s Top 5 Dead Or Alive. The Def Jam rapper’s upcoming LP is named after and inspired by the aforementioned “Icepick” Jackson, a Ruff Ryders producer/A&R who passed away after battling cancer in 2017.
“The project is beautiful,” Jada told DX. “It’s not like nothing out there. It’s not turn-up; it’s real pain … it’s just real music. It’s real musical. It’s beautiful. You need it. I love how it’s put together sonically. I think my fans, old and new, will be able to really enjoy this body of work.”
Look out for DX’s full interview with Jadakiss in coming the weeks.
