Jaden Smith Drops New Song 'Labor V2' for His 18th Birthday
Usually, you receive gifts from other people for your birthday, but Jaden Smith is reversing that notion by giving a musical present on the same day he turns 18. So, HBD, Jaden! And...thank you?
"Labor V2" pulls in a flush of strings and a sullen English horn, making it an orchestral affair to begin with. Jaden's flow is constant and punctuated in all the right spots, with a seemingly never-ending stream of wordplay and top-notch rhymes: "How many times am I tellin' 'em, just because you see the melanin doesn't mean that I'm a felon / I'm here to show you the intelligence."
