Fredo Santana

"Jealous" (ft. Kendrick Lamar)

Chicago rapper Fredo Santana's upcoming Trappin' Ain't Dead mixtape has him teaming up with Chi-town locals Young Chop and Chief Keef, but the preview single "Jealous" has the guy bringing out the King of Compton, Kendrick Lamar, for some tag-team action.

Tarentino's floaty beat brings together an earth-quaking bass boom, pan flute piping and airy piano twinkles. As you may expect by that song title, Fredo delivers verses about the green-eyed monster, but it's Lamar who steals the show with his dextrous flow. His guest spot shows love for the Chi, delivers onomatopoeic sex sounds, offers tributes to fallen friends and weighs in with how ridiculous rap beef has become.

It's a thoroughly gorgeous track, and you can check in the player down below.

Though a due date has yet to be set in stone, Trappin' Ain't Dead is expected to also feature appearances and guest work from Capo, Lex Luger, Murdabeatz and more.
