5) S**t’s about to get real GUTTR ’round this part of town cause RAS KASS, HAVOC & RJ PAYNE have joined forces with FAME, METHOD MAN & SWAY CALLOWAY on “Roll Call!!!” It’s a lyrical bloodbath from beginning to end with losers ending up in the dirt or in detention. If ya ain’t on this list who the f**k are you?!? We got the answer: You’re nobody at all.


6) VEGA7 THE RONIN & BODY BAG BEN soothe the savage beast with “Kawasaki Killers” heat called “Liontamer!” The Paragraph Poltergeist & Production Powerhouse leave listeners in awe on yet another supernatural work of art.

9) All ye haters abandon all hope cause DJ MUGGS & MOOCH got the underground on lock with “Walk Yours!!!” DA CLOTH kingpin RIGZ is featured on this soulful “ROC STAR” triumph that demonstrates how hard it is to follow in their path! Mooch’s high-pitched, nasal delivery is securely cushioned amongst the melodic rhythms present on the track while Rigz stresses the importance of paving your own way!

10) FASTLIFE, MADHATTAN & WINO WILLY wolf down “Halal Food” while choppin’ it up wit’ the mob at the “Ravenite Social Club!!!” The lyrical terminators and production assassin serve up a whirling dervish of hardcore Hip Hop that renders rivals’ rhymes weak & decrepit by comparison! Why are you even attempting to battle ’em? Go back to your mom’s basement and practice the clarinet!!!
