"Pause" is a single by Jay Dee that was chosen to lead his 2001 album, Welcome 2 Detroit. Besides a grunt and an ad-lib, ("Bounce"), Jay Dee himself doesn't perform on the song, but instead features his friends Frank-N-Dank, who brace the horn-laced track with suitably over-the-top braggadocio.

The appropriately titled "Featuring Phat Kat" sees his one time fellow 1st Down member Phat Kat on the mic, while Jay Dee provides a subdued, but gritty canvas for him to let loose. The song is also notable for featuring one of Jay Dee's DJ Premier-esque scratch montages.
