If you want to hear mic juggernauts flexin’ their skills you’ve come to the right place. The Parisian, Ed, and Boldy straight blow up the spot!!!
10) Last but NEVER least is the great JOELL ORTIZ who signs off with “Sincerely Yours!” Production god SALAAM REMI handles the sonic duties on this horn-adorned “Autograph” banger & you can bet your bottom dollar it kicks major ass!!! When it comes to lyricism ya can’t have a conversation without mentioning Mr. Ortiz! If he ain’t in your Top 10 he better be in your Top 20. And if he ain’t on your list then your list is probably trash!
Well that’s it for this week. Catch ya next time and…DON’T SLEEP!
