Hip-hop battle rap legend and podcast host Math Hoffa recently got his first taste of JQX’s latest single Shades On, and his reaction says it all: the track is an undeniable club anthem. Known for his sharp wit and no-nonsense commentary, Hoffa couldn’t help but vibe with the energy and storytelling laced into the record.
As the track played, Hoffa zeroed in on one of the standout lyrics:
“If I tip the bottle girl 3 racks, I’m hitting it.”
His reaction? Pure entertainment:
“She coming home tonight. She gotta come home. That’s a down payment, son. That’s a down payment.”
The chat room filled with laughter, highlighting just how easily Shades On pulls listeners into its flashy, bottle-service lifestyle.
Hoffa connected with the song’s imagery, recalling his own time in VIP sections with the shades on:
“I been in the club blind with the shades on before. It’s a good feeling, especially when you’re in a section.”
For him, the song wasn’t just music—it was a reflection of moments that club-goers know all too well.
What stood out most in Hoffa’s breakdown was the song’s crowd appeal.
“That’s one of them joints that everybody gonna have fun with… Motherfuckers in there pulling their shades out, throwing it on.”
It was clear to Hoffa that Shades On is designed for audience participation, the kind of record DJs spin when they want the whole room moving in unison.
