Jay Critch holds his own alongside two New York City giants on "Try It."

Many have looked at Jay Critch as the next up from New York City. He began gaining a buzz as an artist underneath Rich The Kid's wing, but over the past few months, he's established himself as a force to be reckoned with. He's done it all without having a project to his name. Today, he reaffirms his position in the soundscape of NY hip-hop with his debut mixtape, Hood Favorite. One track that's an immediate highlight off the project is the Harry Fraud-produced track, "Try It."

Jay Critch proves that he could hold his own alongside two NY giants, French Montana and Fabolous, for a highlight off off Hood Favorite, "Try It." The track was produced by Harry Fraud who worked with Critch earlier this year on "Thousand Ways." Critch delivers an east coast banger with "Try It." French worked with Fraud earlier in his career and on "Try It," the "Unforgettable" rapper sounds like he did in his mixtape days. Fabolous closes the track out with an exceptional verse.

Go peep Jay Critch's debut mixtape, Hood Favorite.

Quotable Lyrics
Silence and sushi, karats and Gucci
I collab with real n***as, not balance with goofies
I let 'em talk while I get my blue Benji on
My skin thicker than Nicki in a Fendi thong
