A visual from CRACK BABY 4 : MICHELE'S BABY BOY, and the fourth installment of a series Nam Nitty has been running since 2020 on his own Secret Sosiety Entertainment he is the CEO, and on the earlier volumes he was the entire production desk as well: produced, mixed, arranged, executive produced, all under one name. On this one the video credits give him a single line for production and a single guest. The credit is worth a second look. The video names Jay Royale and nobody else. Two independent listings of the album's tracklist give track four as "Da Nas Beat" featuring Jay Royale and Tone Spliff and Spliff appears twice elsewhere on the record, so his absence here is more likely an omission than a change to the song. Both names belong in the account, and the discrepancy is the kind of thing a label can fix in one edit. The song is a street-rap record with a hook that says exactly what it is about: "I ain't never had a job, but I had drug money." Nitty builds it around a refrain rather than around a punchline, and the video credited as "a film by Spike Tarantino" is structured like a short: dialogue scenes in and around a car, an exchange about a Knicks bet, a dealer explaining his clientele, before the verse lands. At just over four minutes it is the longest track in the album's opening stretch, and the title does what it says: a beat built to be ridden the way a certain Queensborough MC would ride it. The album runs ten tracks and around thirty-five minutes, nearly all of them carrying a feature, with the same names circling back Tone Spliff, Voice Watkins, John Jigg$ from the Mxnxpxly Family that Nitty came up in and now runs. Four volumes in, that consistency is the business model.
