Remixed by Jeff Mount at Sessionworks Studios, Directed by Ben-G-Filmz at Prophecy Studios
In a time where the echo of the past collides with the turbulence of the present, Trey Texas arrives with an explosive reimagining of Jay-Z’s iconic 2001 hit, “U Don’t Know,” in his new track, “U Don’t Know (2024 Remix).” Produced by the renowned Jeff Mount at Sessionworks Studios in Hurst, TX, this remix is more than just a nod to a hip-hop classic. It’s a contemporary anthem, a visceral commentary on our collective struggles, and a powerful voice of encouragement for the younger generation facing their own battles today.
Trey Texas’ interpretation of “U Don’t Know” is not a simple remix for the sake of nostalgia. It’s a profound reflection of the societal upheaval and emotional toll felt in 2024. He manages to channel the raw energy and rebellious spirit of Jay-Z’s original track while seamlessly layering in his own narrative — a narrative shaped by the stark realities of gun violence, global pandemics, and the overwhelming weight of social unrest.
With lines like, “Gunshots and violence- too many moments of silence/ We should open up our irises, see what time it is/ Millions dead worldwide, mutating viruses/ Yeah- society is ill…Need a whole lot more chill and far less kill…,” Trey Texas speaks directly to the heart of 2024’s greatest challenges. His lyrics are sharp, his delivery relentless, and his message is clear: we cannot afford to look away from the world’s issues, but rather, we must face them head-on and strive for change.
The remix incorporates Trey’s streetwise perspective, turning Jay-Z’s braggadocious original into a modern battle cry for perseverance. His voice rings out not only for himself, but for a generation that has seen enough violence, chaos, and indifference. There’s a certain defiance in his tone, matched by a deep well of empathy as he reaches out to the youth, encouraging them to stay aware, stay engaged, and stay strong amidst the turmoil.
