Basement Jaxx's long awaited album Scars came out last week and the first song is an epic but unexpected Dipset/Timbaland-esque production featuring Kelis, Meleka & Chipmunk, titled "Scars".
Cool, whatever right? But what makes this interesting is; a Jim Jones song by the same name with a Z ("Scarz") leaked at some point last year featuring an almost identical beat. The song was not featured on Jimmy's 2009 Pray IV Reign album, nor was it released commercially in any form so its pretty much impossible to find any credits for.
Check out both songs below:
Basement Jaxx Ft Kelis, Meleka & Chipmunk - Scars
Jim Jones - Scarz
So, did Basement Jaxx take this from Jim, or was it a demo Jaxx did with Jim? Someone please provide some insight into this bizarre situation...
