Jail (song)

"Jail" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his tenth studio album, Donda (2021), released through GOOD Music and Def Jam Recordings. The song includes vocals from fellow American rapper Jay-Z, as well as additional vocals from American record producer Dem Jointz and the Sunday Service Choir. It contains an interpolation of the Boomtown Rats' 1979 song "Sleep (Finger's Lullaby)", whose member Johnnie Fingers is credited as a songwriter. Towards the end of the album, another version of the song titled "Jail pt 2" appears, which includes new vocals from rapper DaBaby and musician Marilyn Manson. Before its release, the song was previewed at the album's first listening party, located at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Upon its release, "Jail" garnered mixed reviews from music critics, while Jay-Z's verse was met with a polarized reception. The appearance of DaBaby and Manson on "Jail pt 2" received widespread criticism because of controversies surrounding allegations of homophobia towards DaBaby and rape towards Manson. Commercially, the original version charted at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at number 2 on both the Hot Christian Songs and Gospel Songs charts, with the second part peaking at number 63 on the Hot 100. The song would later win the award for Best Rap Song at the 2022 Grammy Awards, and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for equivalent sale of 500,000 units in the United States.
