Jadakiss attacks these tracks with eyebrow-scorching energy.

AllHipHop

Kiss Of Death is a must-have release that should help place Jadakiss amongst rap’s current elite without any argument.

No matter the number of bright moments, you can't help but feel that Jadakiss has his best days ahead of him

Rolling Stone
Jadakiss raps with a slight rasp and a perpetually arched eyebrow. He's a master of the fine lyrical detail, and he knows it.

The choruses aren't always memorable, and when the songs have forgettable R&B; hooks and are forgettable, it can make for aggravating moments. But when Jadakiss has a heavy beat behind him, this record stands with the year's best.

A huge step-up in quality compared to his debut. While Jada still suffers from issues regarding track-to-track consistency, this project features more standout tracks than his last. There isn't anything quite on the level of We Gonna Make It, but a handful of songs that come close. Shine, Why, Hot Sauce To Go, Real Hip Hop, Still Feel Me, Gettin' It In, and I'm Goin Back are all noteworthy records that can be hailed as some of the best songs released under his name.

MUCH better then his debut, more consistent and with a disregard for conventional means of transportation. Starts and ends a little meh, but the bulk of the record is lovely mid-00's greatness that only someone as fly and as sure of himself as Jada can deliver. Love the feature list, love the bouncy beats, and I love Jada's trademark delivery and always-satisfying voice here, this would be my go-to recommendation for someone who wants to get into his work.
