Listen to the snippet via Soundcloud below. Head to Gift of Gab's website to get the full track for free. “The new batch of songs I’m working on is all about lyricism for heads who love it,” Gab told HipHopDX. He continued “I’m in a place in my career right now where I’m hearing a lot of talk that Hip Hop isn’t as lyrical as it once was. I come from the school of Rakim, Big Daddy Kane and rappers that are really intensely rhyming. With this new slew of music I am doing, it’s almost like I’m rhyming for other rappers."
