A violent threat has erupted from the streets of Rochester, New York, targeting some of hip-hop’s most recognizable names, including Jada Kiss, Jim Jones, and the rapper 38 Spech, after a series of escalating lyrical clashes took a dangerous turn. The individual, identified only as a “goon from Rochester” who boasts of having just “finished clapping cheeks,” issued a chilling ultimatum: no New York City-based artist—whether from Queens, Brooklyn, Harlem, or the Bronx—is safe to set foot in Rochester or its surrounding areas. In a profanity-laced video transcript obtained by this station, the unnamed man declares a “no fly zone” for Jim Jones and Jada Kiss, threatening highway robbery, assault, and even robbery of women and children if they are associated with the dissed parties.
The warning comes on the heels of 38 Spech’s public attack on Jada Kiss, calling him a “hater” and claiming superiority on the microphone. Jim Jones then entered the fray, offering a record deal to any young artist willing to “go at” 38 Spech—a move that has now triggered a street-level response that law enforcement is urgently monitoring.
The transcript, which has circulated widely on social media platforms and hip-hop fan sites, features the Rochester figure speaking directly to a camera, his voice laced with fury and menace. “If you from New York City, you can my dick straight up. I don’t give a [expletive],” he begins, before issuing a citywide declaration: “It’s 585 versus everybody.
I woke up on some [expletive] today. [Expletive] going to get at my son special. I don’t give a f who you is.
If we catch you up here and you from New York City, a burrow, we running you out of here.” He explicitly mentions robbery and physical violence, stating that even “females too” will be targeted. “Send y’all New York City asses back where the y’all came from.
We don’t want y’all up here with our cows and our tractor trailers,” he adds, mocking the perceived urban arrogance of the Big Apple artists. The language is raw, unedited, and reflects a deep-seated regional animosity that police believe could escalate into real-world violence.
The context of this threat begins with 38 Spech, a rapper known for his aggressive lyrical style, who openly dissed Jada Kiss in a recent track, accusing him of jealousy and claiming that Kiss is not on his level when it comes to mic skills. “He think that Jada Kiss is hating on him because he’s nicer than Jay the Kiss,” the video narrator explains. “Jada Kiss is not on his level.”
That barbs set off a chain reaction. Jim Jones, a veteran Harlem rapper and member of Dipset, responded not with a diss track but with a seemingly offhand offer to a “young book”—likely a younger artist—telling him, “I’mma give him a deal if he bites you. You ain’t even got enough money to talk to me.
You not even allowed to be talking to me in any type of way like that.” Jones then explicitly threatened 38 Spech, saying, “My young boy ain’t going to spare you. [Expletive] will walk you down ASAP.
Don’t get it confused, bro. Tonight we going to walk. Matter of fact, tonight we going—I told him I’mma give him a deal.”
This video, which appears to be part of a larger broadcast or podcast, has now become the flashpoint for the Rochester threat.
The Rochester individual’s response is not merely a verbal clash; it is a call to action that local law enforcement sources say is being taken with the utmost seriousness. In the transcript, he repeatedly emphasizes that the “green light is on your Mac,” referring to a hit or a green light for attack, and claims that “we on you, bro.” He name-checks Jim Jones and Jada Kiss directly, but expands the threat to all New York City residents, regardless of borough.
“If you from Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem. I don’t give a [expletive] Where you from? Suck a dick.
Your mama too. And your grandma.” The language is deliberately designed to provoke and intimidate, and it has already ignited a firestorm of commentary on hip-hop forums, with many fans expressing concern that the beef has moved from the recording studio to the streets.
The Rochester figure is described as a “goon” who claims he has just “finished clapping cheeks”—a crude slang term for sexual activity or perhaps a violent act—and is now positioning himself as the enforcer for 38 Spech, whom he alleges was dissed by the New York artists.
The video narrator, who appears to be a third-party commentator or perhaps a local media personality, attempts to contextualize the threat. “So what you just seen in the introduction, man, is Jim Jones responding to 38 Spech and saying he’s not going to go cap for cap with 38 Spech because at the end of the day, homeboy don’t got enough guts. Homeboy don’t got enough chicken.
He don’t got enough straight cash to even argue with Jim Jones.” The narrator then explains that Jones offered a record deal to a young artist, which the Rochester individual interprets as a direct challenge to his territory. “That’s the homie talking bear on the Haps,” the narrator says, using street terminology that implies a threat.
“So, like I said, a goon from Rochester who just finished clapping cheeks, man, homeboy is saying it’s a no fly zone for Jim Jones. It’s a no fly zone for Jay the kids. It’s a no fly zone for the you know them from New York City, whether it’s Queens, Brooklyn, Galaten, you understand?
Or Bronx, man.” The narrator then clarifies the full scope of the threat: “It’s going to be a highway robbery for any New Yorkers touchdown in Rochester in Galesta. Homeboy saying male or female, it doesn’t matter.
In his eyes, everybody’s a walking lick. Everybody’s a walking stain for dissing 38 speeches.”
The use of the term “walking lick” is particularly alarming to law enforcement, as it is slang for an easy target for robbery or physical assault. The Rochester individual explicitly states that he does not care if the person is a “plug” (a 𝒹𝓇𝓊𝑔 supplier or a high-level dealer) —they will be robbed. “If you a [expletive] is going to beat the out you.
I don’t give a females too. We ain’t going to give a [expletive] Send y’all New York City asses back where the y’all came from,” he declares. This blanket threat has drawn immediate concern from police in both Rochester and New York City, who are now coordinating intelligence to prevent any travel or concert appearances that might lead to violence.
The Rochester Police Department has not yet issued an official statement, but a source familiar with the investigation confirms that officers are actively monitoring social media and seeking to identify the individual in the video.
The beef has also drawn in other figures, including Jada Kiss, who has not yet publicly responded to the Rochester threat. Late Monday, an unnamed associate of Jada Kiss told this station that the rapper is “not concerned” and will continue his scheduled appearances, but is aware of the “dangerous rhetoric.” Meanwhile, Jim Jones has not commented on the specific threats, but his social media feeds have remained active, with posts that some interpret as defiant.
At the time of this reporting, no arrests have been made, but the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force has been notified due to the interstate nature of the threat and the explicit language indicating a planned attack against individuals traveling from New York to Rochester. “This is not just a rap beef anymore,” said a retired NYPD detective specializing in gang violence. “This is a direct threat to public safety.
When you say you’re going to rob and assault anyone from a particular place, and you name specific people, it becomes a criminal investigation.”
The transcript also reveals a broader cultural and economic dimension. The Rochester figure mocks the New York artists, suggesting they come upstate only to chase “a bag” and then leave. “You from Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem.
I don’t give a [expletive] Where you from? Suck a dick. Your mama too.
And your grandma.” This hostility is not new; tensions between upstate and downstate New York have simmered for years, but never before has it bubbled over into such a explicit, video-recorded threat. The Rochester individual positions himself as a protector of local turf, even using the area code 585 as a rallying cry.
“It’s 585 versus everybody,” he shouts, a declaration that could unite local gang factions against a common enemy.
The video also includes a bizarre moment where the narrator interjects, seemingly trying to calm down or contextualize the rage. “No homo no freaky up. No homo no sneaky.
So people, if you haven’t been in tune, get in tune. Get familiar. It’s about to get real dark and deep.
No sneaky pause. Stay with me.” This suggests that the video was recorded as part of a live stream or podcast, and the narrator is aware of the gravity of the situation.
He then directly addresses 38 Spech, whom he calls the “Dirty Age Specy,” and claims that Spech “started everything by airing on Jada Kiss.” The narrator insists that Spech is the one who set the conflict in motion, but now the Rochester goon is taking it to a violent level. “Homeboy throwing like a turtleneck.
No [expletive] test. No, boy. And that’s a cord.
He’s at homeboy foot, you understand?” The language is almost incomprehensible to outsiders, but in street parlance, it suggests that the Rochester figure has already “got things going” against the New York parties.
Law enforcement experts note that the phrase “green light is on your Mac” is particularly concerning. “Mac” could refer to a person’s name, a term for a weapon, or a code name for a target. In some street contexts, “green light” means approval to 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 or seriously harm someone.
The individual also says, “We on you, bro,” indicating ongoing surveillance or stalking. This is not a one-off rant; it appears to be a coordinated threat with implied accomplices. The Rochester figure refers to “my young boy” multiple times, suggesting that he has a protégé or a crew ready to act.
“I just told my young book I’mma give him a deal if he bites you,” he says, echoing Jim Jones’ own offer to an artist. This mirrors the exact language used by Jones, which may be a deliberate taunt.
As this story develops, the music industry is watching closely. Concerts scheduled in Rochester and nearby cities may be canceled or postponed. The Rochester individual explicitly threatens “highway robbery” for any New Yorkers driving upstate, which could affect Hip-Hop artists’ touring plans.
Jada Kiss and Jim Jones have both performed in upstate venues in the past, and their safety is now in question. The 585 area code threat has already sparked discussion on social media, with users from both sides trading insults. Some have expressed fear that the conflict could lead to real bloodshed, while others dismiss it as internet posturing.
But the tone of the video—cold, explicit, and unapologetic—suggests that the speaker is not bluffing.
The narrator of the video, who identifies himself as “your boy OG product,” repeatedly encourages viewers to support his channel and hit like buttons, making it clear that he is a content creator or influencer. He says, “If you say you a supporter, make sure you support the channel. Just don’t tell me when you see me out in general public.
But I’ve never seen y’all, you know, supporting me on the app.” This indicates that the entire broadcast is part of a growing trend of “hip-hop news” accounts that report on beefs, but in this case, the line between reporting and inciting violence is blurred. The narrator does not condemn the threats; he merely presents them as news, even co-signing the Rochester figure’s stance.
“So, like I said, no longer chatting, no long discussion,” he concludes. “If you a supporter, make sure you support the channel. If you a hater, do what you do.”
At this hour, multiple attempts have been made to reach 38 Spech, Jada Kiss, and Jim Jones for comment. None have responded. The Rochester Police Department has confirmed that they are aware of the video and are investigating.
A spokesperson said, “We take all threats of violence seriously, especially those that target individuals across state lines. We are working with our partners to ensure public safety.” Meanwhile, the New York Police Department’s Gang Intelligence Unit is also analyzing the video for any connections to known crews operating in the Rochester area.
One detective, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “We’ve seen these types of threats before. Some are just hot air. But this one is detailed, personal, and uses specific language that we associate with active gang members.
We are not taking any chances.”
The larger question remains: will the music industry—which thrives on beef and controversy—treat this as a marketing opportunity or a clear and present danger? Already, fans are circulating the video with the same enthusiasm they reserve for diss tracks, but the explicit mention of “robbing” and “beating” has crossed a line. The Rochester figure’s final words in the transcript are not a boast about his lyrical ability, but a threat of street justice: “If we catch you up here and you from New York City, a burrow, we running you out of here.
I don’t give a [expletive] if you a plug. We robbing you.” This is not the kind of rhetoric that can be easily shrugged off as part of a rap rivalry.
This is a direct challenge to the rule of law.
As of now, law enforcement urges anyone with information about the identity of the individual in the video to come forward. The Rochester area, known for its history of civic pride and economic struggles, now finds itself in the national spotlight for a dangerous feud that could erupt at any moment. The “green light” is on for someone—and the question is whether cooler heads will prevail or if violence will be the only way this story ends.
This is a developing story. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for our next report.
