Jim Jones Enlists Kodie Shane and Yung Bleu for 'In The Car'

Jim Jones continues his late-career pivot into a seasoned curator, this time tapping the melodic sensibilities of Kodie Shane and Yung Bleu for 'In The Car.' While Jones handles the grit with a traditional rap verse, the track’s weightlessness comes from the younger collaborators. Kodie Shane, whose trajectory we’ve tracked through her steady rise in the Atlanta scene, provides a vocal airiness that balances the song’s bouncy, synth-heavy production. This release reinforces Shane’s utility as a high-conviction feature artist who can soften a veteran’s edge without losing the track’s momentum. The production leans into cold pads and a rhythmic snap, creating a late-night atmosphere that avoids the usual tropes of high-energy trap. It is a lean, efficient collaboration that succeeds by letting the contrasting vocal textures—Jones’s rasp against Shane’s melodic float—do the heavy lifting.
