Joey titles the track after the infamous term “super-predator” coined by John DiIulio. The song challenges the term, which has been used to demonize black youth as having “no respect for human life or future.” The term recently brought controversy during the 2016 presidential election where people have been critical of Hillary Clinton for using it to describe gangs of youth in 1996. Many believed she was referring to African Americans.

In addition to the song’s clear political implications, it can also be seen as a wink to Joey’s belief that he is next up to carry the torch as the King of NY hip-hop, extending on the previous track “Ring The Alarm” in which he says he was “born running with the baton.”

Aside from the song’s unmistakable 1990s NY rap sound and vibe, it makes several references, both direct and indirect to the lyrics of some of NY’s greatest MC’s including Biggie, Jay-Z, Method Man and Joey’s Pro Era co-founder Capital STEEZ. It also features Styles P, another NY hip hop legend.

In the final verse Joey rap’s about how his stock has been heating up for years now and he’s clearly “heir to the throne.”
