Stove God Cooks Says He Sent Jay-Z a Hook: ‘I Don’t Want No Percentage, Just Send a Roc Chain’

Let's hope he didn't block his blessings by revealing this interesting tidbit of information as rumors of a new JAY-Z album continue to swirl.

Syracuse-based rapper Stove God Cooks suggested he might have contributed a hook for Jay-Z's rumored album, though he did not confirm it. On The Joe Budden Podcast, the artist stated that he sent the hook to the rap icon but wished to remain in the dark about the album's status. "I'm not confirming that big homie got an album coming out, but big homie, if you got an album coming out, use that hook I sent you," he said.

Stove God Cooks made it clear that he does not want any share of profits from the album and only desires a Roc-A-Fella chain as his payment. He also mentioned that he is aware of his past struggles with releasing a follow-up album after his 2020 release "Reasonable Drought," but he recently confirmed a renegotiated deal with his label Babygrande.
