Staten Island rapper Jay Branch&#8217;s submission &#8220;Time&#8221; opens with a sample of <a href="/profile/50Cent" class="text-word" target="_blank" >50 Cent</a>&#8217;s voice. From the beginning, it&#8217;s clear that Jay has a certain appreciation for New York rap history, but he uses it to his advantage rather than as a crutch. The record bears the DNA of Jay&#8217;s city, but it&#8217;s never defined or restricted by it. Using a piano sample that could come from a classic boom bap record, Branch&#8217;s new track ups the BPM and challenges him to break out some thrilling new flows that would fall flat if performed by a less capable technician.

Quotable Lyrics: I came from the gutter That&#8217;s word to my mother That Jimmy, I don&#8217;t leave without it Might sound like a stutter I trap out the spot  &#8216;Cause the hood, I&#8217;m just trynna get out it
