Jacquees drops his latest “Quemix,” this time covering Drake’s “Jaded.” What’s a “Quemix,” you ask? It’s when a young Cash Money singer remixes so many popular songs that you might as well give them all a catchy name.
On the “Jaded,”song, the singer takes 90 seconds to flesh out the world of the original Scorpion track. Where Drake needed to employ Ty Dolla $ign as a ghostly backup vocalist, Jacquees plays both roles on his rendition. Melodically, the 4275 singer doesn’t add anything new to the proceedings, but his voice does show effortless confidence. ‘Quees doesn’t show up Drake, exactly, but he gets mighty close, which is probably why some labels aren’t keen on the idea of Quemixes.
Last Wednesday, September 26, Jacquees was trending on Twitter after his remix surface of Ella Mai’s “Trip.” The singer released his rendition of the song on September 1, but it was removed from his YouTube and SoundCloud accounts. Jacquees was forced to removed his remix after it got more attention than the original song.

Fans begin blaming Ella for the removable of the remix. Twitter user @Tyrahabrahams2 had this to say

In a statement to Billboard, Jacquees rep explained the issue.
“We love Ella and are cool with her team as well,” the statement read. “He has been releasing not only Quemix songs but entire projects with remixes of other artists’ songs ranging back to 2013. This was an act of genuine support and should not turn into negativity for either of the artist or from their supporters.”
Let’s hope this remix does not get taken down as well. I hope he remember’s to put “I do not own copyrights to this song” this time around lol.
What do you think about his remix to “Jaded” by Drake. Do you like it?
