"Death Wish" was released as the third official features Lil Wayne.

The fourth and final single "Who's Real" was digitally released on May 5, 2009, released for airplay on June 9, 2009 and released on June 16, 2009. The album was given positive to mixed reviews from music critics. After securing a new deal with Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records, Jadakiss began recording in 2008. After multiple push backs, the album was given an April 2009 release date; the original album title was Kiss My Ass, however Jada decided to change the album title: I had to change the name of my album because "Kiss My Ass" wasn’t testing well at retail. As The Last Kiss might lead some to believe that it could be Jadakiss' final album, he stated that he has no plans to retire anytime soon and explained the meaning behind the album's title; some people asked me if this was my last album, nah, it’s just the first album was Kiss tha Game Goodbye, the second album was The Kiss of Death, so this one is The Last Kiss. This is the last time; the Last Kiss received positive reviews from music critics.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 61, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 7 reviews. David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "In a genre where albums miss their street date, Jadakiss' The Last Kiss is an late hip-hop release, having been pushed back and retooled numerous times; this problematic arrival shows too in the final product, but the problem may not be the much maligned rapper's ability or inspiration but the constant mishandling of his material. So many prime street cuts have been given away to comps and soundtracks in the five years since Kiss of Death was released that only the slick, polished numbers remain, save the misleading kickoff "Pain & Torture."Steve Jones of USA Today said, "Though Kiss isn't as gritty as his previous efforts — a sign of maturity — he still serves up plenty of bangers for hard cases. There's no shortage of songs boasting of his accomplishments,'hood credentials and microphone prowess.

But he takes a broader view and more varied sonic palette." HipHopDX said, "Even if there are a handful of tracks that should've been shaved off, there's nothing outright bad on The Last Kiss and a lot that's good. It won't be a standout in his overall catalogue when its all said and done but it's a solid entry nonetheless. A good album from a great rapper--give it your time." Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly said, "When he caters to changed times, the results are forgettable. But when he stays in his lane, there’s no one who can snarl a couplet quite like him." The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200. Jadakiss responded to the sales, by explaining he was pleased with the album's overall success, that it has since been attributed to traditional marketing; the Last Kiss at Metacritic

Trout Creek Pass, elevation 9,487 ft, is a mountain pass located in the Rocky Mountains of south-central Colorado in the United States. The pass sits atop the southern end of the Mosquito Range on the Park-Chaffee county line, between South Park and the headwaters of the Arkansas River to the west, it is traversed jointly by U. S. Highway 24 and US 285, it is closed only during severe winter storms. The approach from the north is mild. Curiously, the elevation stated on the highway sign at the summit appears to be in error by about 140 ft, as it disagrees with well-established topographic maps as well as published data. Geologically, the pass is located on a fault. Road cuts along the eastern approach to the pass reveal Pennsylvanian black shale and thin gray limestone layers that were laid down prior to the creation of the Ancestral Rockies; these Paleozoic layers were not uplifted during the creation of the Ancestral Rockies 300 MYA and thus were not eroded to the same degree as other areas to the east and west.

The pass was traversed by the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad in 1879, providing the first rail link between Denver and Leadville in the early days of the Colorado Silver Boom. The Colorado Midland built a line west from Colorado Springs to Leadville over Trout Creek Pass in the 1890s. Both lines fell into disuse in the 1920s; the pass is in the San Isabel National Forest.
