Juelz Santana is set to release, What The Game’s Been Missing this November 22. MH2 couldn’t wait that long so we broke into Dipset headquarters to report to our audience the exclusives. Okay so we heard it at a listening session. Don’t knock us for trying to boost our street cred! Aye!

Juelz changes up his format a little bit but retains his “gangsta” style. What’s understood is that Juelz made this album for his original fans that rode with him because the formula that Dipset fans love stays intact. Don’t get it twisted, What The Game’s Been Missing is a step up as a sophomore album and it’s doubtful that he’ll suffer from the sophomore jinks with this one. Even with an arsenal of appearances like Cam’Ron, Young Jeezy and Lil’ Wayne (to name a few), Juelz runs his album…Aye!

THE BANGER-“Tick Tock”
This is a major powerhouse on What The Game’s Been Missing. The bass chimes on a tick and tock tempo in the background production. The anthem dedicated to anyone who tries to make a dollar through the hustle, could be his next single. Juelz stays within his realm of New York grit to create a banger instead of selling out his sound.

THE SOUL TUGGER-“Good Ol’ Days”
Juelz takes us down memory lane. He brings up throw back past times that’ll make you go “Damn I remember that.” A few past times Juelz brings back is the fade, “Yo! MTV Raps”, tag, and block parties. If anyone misses the 90’s then this one will tug your old school soul.

THE UNEXPECTED- “Daddy”
Juelz drops his thug guard and dedicates a track to his little man. He displays his sentimental side in Diplomat format. Juelz pledges that he’d “bury a block” for his seed. While the softer side is executed in his lyrics, don’t expect baby Juelz to be “no punk.” In fact if anyone tests the little gangsta, Juelz expects his son to stand up for himself and throw down. Call it tough love but in the end this is one side of Juelz that’s not usually seen.

THE POET SNAP – “Lil’ Boy Fresh”
Remember “Fresh?” The 1994 movie based on a kid that brought two drug kingpins into war. Well if you don’t then Jewelz recreates the scenario in an updated version set in Harlem. Colombian “Jose who was the cocaine boss” is fooling around with shortie’s bigger sister. Meanwhile shorty works for some other goons like “Malik.” Sound familiar? Santana based this on experiences that he called “real music and real shit.”
