    32zero is the truth. Nottz Raw is killing it on the track and Talib? come it’s Talib you KNOW he do his thing! Love the hook too. Can’t wait for the album to drop!
    he said:
    “they move white to get green and see brown dirt
    I moonlight to get dreams – putting in work!”

    That’s that REAL hip hop!

    Yo this shit is tight, the hook bangs!

  • Q

    Derek, dude… no “niggas,” “b*tches,” one-syllable words, or thanking of slave masters?? I don’t know if you gonna make it bruh… you makin’ REAL Hip-Hop! These young people aren’t ready for no cursing!! Get on your nursery ish, man! Lmao ;)
    Good stuff, D! But on a serious note… I think you might want to hook up with HU when they do their big “Bizaar” for Homecoming. They usually like to get a tasteful artist, and I think you’d be a treat! Seriously, I think you’d get a lot of love.. just my opinion. Much love, man.. keep doin ur thing.

    this is the way hip hop should roll, how it should flow. smooth and with some thought. the production is nice and tight too, no slop here. take it from the people, this is for the people. keep it coming!
