Jay-Z is giving Doja Cat props for her verse on The Book of Clarence Soundtrack song “Jeezu.”
Jay-Z Praises Doja Cat Raps
On Thursday (Jan. 11) Jay-Z and The Book of Clarence writer-director Jeymes Samuel conducted a talk with fans via Spaces on X, formerly known as Twitter. During the conversation, which can be heard below, Hov big-ups Doja Cat for her performance on the track “Jeezu” with Kodak Black and Adekunle Gold.
“Even with Doja [Cat] on [the soundtrack],” Jigga began at the 1:04:24-mark of the video below. “Her performance on [‘Jeezu’] was unlike anything that I’ve heard from her. The way she attacks that music it’s like, ‘Wow, this is a different Doja.’ And it may not be different for her. I don’t know. That’s a question for her. It may not have felt different for her, but as a listener, as someone who has consumed her music and loves what she does, I was like, ‘Man, this feels new for her.’ This feels like a new space.”
Doja Cat’s verse on “Jeezu” finds her ditching her normal pop-tinged output and handing out straight bars.
“Yup, y’all ain’t know me back then/I was tapped in corners, I was backed in,” she raps. “They gon’ judge me only based upon the fashion/Mama taught me only judge ’em from they actions/Free of guilt, because you never caught me lackin.'”
