7) SNOOK DA CROOK, PLANET ASIA & ILL CONSCIOUS stay in the trenches handlin’ biz while droppin’ a dope joint called “Numbers Over Suckers!” The track sounds like the lyrical soldiers entered a battlefield to wage war with a troop of enemy forces. Only one platoon comes out on top & you can hear ’em when you check out the track below!

8) T.F. knows it’s not enough to SAY a rhyme…”You Gotta Feel It!” ROC MARCIANO’s production ensures there’s no lack of passion on the track as the booth gets blessed with verses of the highest quality!

9) V DON, BABYMAINE x TY DA DALE remind ya that you have every reason to be paranoid as things go from bad to worse on “C 95!” Money on the streets keeps your pockets fat but you never know if things will go left. Get some audio narcotics before s**t goes down & let the track consume every fiber of your being!!!

10) CORY GUNZ pays homage to Andre 3000 with a funky DAZE laced joint called “3 Staxx!” The rapid fire rhymer proves he’s second to none by showerin’ the set with a first rate, tour de force launch of lyrical explosives! Andre’s sure to be proud when he listens to this joint. You can be cast out of society to reemerge with a top 10 gem!
