When you hear this track it doesn’t just make you wonder how these guys could be so dope but it also makes you wonder why other crews even bother to try!

The triumphant team thrill listeners with their confident flows while stellar cuts by DJ DUBPLATES adorn the atmosphere.
4) KNOWLEDGE THE PIRATE serves notice to his industry peers that when it comes to Hip Hop he’s “First Among Equals!” The “Hidden Treasure” heater(brilliantly constructed by E.L.E.M.N.T.)showcases the revered mic ripper kickin’ back in the cut while weaving his observational rhymes around the super-charged soundscape! This is top of the line content that you’ll keep on REPEAT. Knowledge always handles his biz & gets the job done!

These MCs drop bars that blow a hole in your chest while VINNY IDOL plays violin at your funeral!!!
