Quincy Jamal and Jordany wants you to inhale, exhale, and ride the mellow groove with his new single, “Puff Puff Pass,” an airy, soul-drenched anthem perfect for those times when you just need to say, Damn it.
The song unfolds with slick, West Coast-infused production beneath a dense web of melodies and a head-nodding groove. It is the sort of sound that gets in your bones, part smoke-session soundtrack, part therapy on wax. With lyrics that convey the divided territory of introspection and defiance, Jamal doesn’t preach, but offers a lesson, breathe in peace, breathe out pressure. Born in New Orleans and coming up between Atlanta and Orlando, Quincy Jamal brings the weight of several cities and his own story to his pen. The son of Kenneth Brown, a promising New Orleans rapper who died too young, Quincy wears ancestral torment on his sleeve. You can hear it in his chit-chat, too, sure, and calm, but never careless.
What separates “Puff Puff Pass” is its vibe-first honesty. This isn’t a song so much as it is a scene. Whether you’re cruising darkened streets or sitting with friends, this track is shared silence and slow exhale. There’s no sense of urgency here, just a seamless reminder to be here now. Jamal doesn’t overcomplicate things. He embraces simplicity with intent, writing lines that seem as if they were traced straight from a late, boozy 2 a.m. conversation. The storytelling is rough-hewn yet subtle, with nothing forced and everything felt.
