I just heard this song (saw the video) on television and I’m pretty impressed. Usually my problem with classic, credible rappers coming out with recent stuff is terrible beats that don’t suit their music, and a failed attempt because of it.

Eric and Parrish using the same style of beats that worked for them so well a decade ago, good to hear. Need to get the rest of the album.

video sucks but whatever
