In a memorable reunion at JAY-Z’s B-Sides concert, expectations soared for new music from State Property.
- Fans hoped the collaboration would reignite creative sparks, leading to new tracks.
- Young Chris, however, disclosed why the dream collaboration didn’t materialize.
- Despite plans to create, the group’s priorities shifted to partying.
- State Property reunited again for Beanie Sigel’s 25th anniversary show.
Back in 2015, hip-hop fans witnessed a thrilling moment when JAY-Z reunited with State Property on stage during his B-Sides concert. This legendary meetup included Beanie Sigel, Young Gunz, and Freeway, sparking excitement for potential new music. However, Young Chris recently shared why those hopes faded.
In a candid chat on Math Hoffa’s podcast, Young Chris recounted the aftermath of the concert. According to Chris, JAY-Z, affectionately referred to as H-O[V], had instructed the group to hit the studio and lay down new tracks. Despite the directive, the group never completed the task.
Expanding on this, Freeway added his perspective over a FaceTime call. He said that JAY-Z had planned to join them at the studio. Yet, the allure of celebrity parties, with stars like Rihanna in attendance, diverted the crew from their music mission.
Even though they missed the chance to drop fresh tracks following the B-Sides concert, State Property reunited earlier this year for another special occasion: Beanie Sigel’s 25th anniversary performance. This event featured not only their hits but a surprise appearance by The LOX, creating a buzz among fans.
The rivalry with The LOX had deep roots, going back to a fiery Hot 97 freestyle diss back in 2002. This tension almost led to violence, according to Beans, as it was all about proving Philadelphia’s mettle against New York’s elite. JAY-Z’s subtle digs at Jadakiss on the R. Kelly remix further fueled the fire.
The much-anticipated collaboration wasn’t meant to be, but the story remains unforgettable in hip-hop lore.
