About This Song

“Just in Case” comes from the soundtrack to Godfather of Harlem, the crime drama series starring Forest Whitaker as Harlem crime boss Bumpy Johnson. Swizz Beatz, who oversaw the music for the show, brings in Rick Ross and DMX for a track that matches the series’ gritty, high-stakes tone.

First Impressions

The beat comes in heavy and each verse brings its own energy.

My Reaction

“Just in Case” puts three very different voices side by side and it works. Rick Ross brings his smooth, boss-like delivery and DMX brings his signature raw intensity. Swizz Beatz ties it all together.
