Listen to Gunplay's "J.O.B." f/ N.O.R.E.

With a new mixtape dropping on October 8, Gunplay brings us a new track to get hype to.

No, new Gunplay doesn't mean that Living Legend is set to arrive, but it does signal a return to productivity. As his 2013 Grantland profile revealed, Gunplay gets most of his writing and recording done in the midst of extended drug binges, making him susceptible to the trials and tribulations that can come with trying to get an album released through his label Def Jam, or any label for that matter. Simply put, he's too erratic to guarantee the stream of drops that we expect of and want from a rapper of Gunplay's quality. 

On "J.O.B.", Gunplay gives us one excellent verse over a steady trap beat full of chimes and breaks. It's the kind of loud, purposeful rapping that we've grown to love from Gunplay. He's direct in his lyrics and flow, and his voice demands reverence. He's unafraid in his raps and in his attitude: "Look death in the face with a blank stare / Told that motherfucker, yeah n**** I'm here." That's cold, Gunplay. 

Stream "J.O.B." below, and look out for his newest mixtape, which will drop this Wednesday.
