Beaumont, TX MC Big Jade bodies just about every beat she comes across with lyrical flair and raw bars, and her new single “Pesos” is no different. Over a triumphant, brass horn-led, mariachi-style beat, Jade cautions any opps that assume her pretty face comes with an ounce of grace when it comes to her paper: “Better have my money right, no point in you approaching me/And while you getting loud, bring it down, it ain’t no h** in me.” East Texas‘ own Peso Peso aptly provides support on this track, coming straight at your neck with a hard hitting flow. 

Directed by Dang Films, the video pays homage to the stoner classic, Next Friday, with Jade adopting the role of fan-favorite Baby Joker. Though in the film he faced the decision whether to “count my money” or “party with b*****s,” Jade is far better equipped to multitask as she counts bills with baddies.

“Pesos” is Jade’s third release of 2022, following “Lower,” her thumping twerk anthem, and “Eat,” an expansive collaboration with Houston legend Z-Ro. “Eat” arrived after a red-hot 2021 that established her as one of the most promising emcees in the South. Jade’s breakout year was fueled by her debut album Pressure, available everywhere via Alamo Records. Acclaimed by Stereogum, who called the album “grimy and guttural, with a punch-you-in-the-jaw directness and a deep snarl,” and Pitchfork, who named the album one of the best overlooked albums of Spring 2021, Pressure rolls out the red carpet for a series of guests from the Lone Star State, including, Erica Banks, Queendom Come, and OMB Bloodbath, a group of Houston and Dallas rappers giving the co-sign to the talented Beaumont native.
