Jadakiss and Rick Ross have a strong catalog of collaborative works. Jada’ calls upon Mastermind for his usual Friday firing of the bars. “Eastern Conference” reworks some literal stadium-music for the two Def Jam Records mainstays to spotlight their figurative jerseys in the rafters. The message is topical, as the NBA Eastern Conference Finals ramp up, but the lyrics transcend basketball.

Both men harness some braggadocio in the moment, ramping up for what appears to be two playoff runs. With MCs having styles that veer from North to South, perhaps Eastern Conference works for these versatile voices in Rap? Perhaps more notably, who do you pick to win the East?
