Beanie Sigel Is “Top Shotta” on New Song

It's been a long time since we got a solo record from Beanie Sigel, but the Broad Street Bully is back with a new track titled "Top Shotta."

For his return to gutterness, Sigel taps fellow Philly native Jahlil Beats for the instrumental. Jah sets off the hard core track with an intro featuring a snippet from the film Belly where DMX's character Tommy Buns is having a conversation with Jamaican drug lord Lennox. From there, the beat grows to a menacing audio pattern driven by big synths and crisp drum snaps.

B. Mack, who appears on the cover art for the single sporting a crown, wastes no time going to work with hard body lines like, "I’m bad boy, I warn boy, like Big Poppa/I squeeze choppa, release copper, ya bleed proper/Yeah, empty out the clip 'till the Beretta lock/Circle the block, scope, see if he dead or not/7-shot .38, the lead’ll pop/Squat, squeeze with one eye open like Fetty Wap."

Since his 2014 shooting incident, music from the Philly rapper has been few and far between as he recovered. Shortly after leaving the hospital, the former Roc-A-Fella rapper linked up with Jahlil and started working on a mixtape called Still Public Enemy. This could probably be the first single from that forthcoming project. Sig also recently appeared on Pusha T's new album King Push - Darkest Before Dawn: The Prelude on the song "Keep Dealing."
