9) CA$ABLANCA x CAP CHINO are mauling muthaf***as wit’ the “Slam Van” and from this moment on all rivals get rolled on!!! Cas is fed up with the sea of no-talent, sound-alike rappers cluttering up the industry so he takes it upon himself to clean up the scene! Cap crafts an arrangement that’ll bring terror to the opps and demolish any sucker who dares step in their path!!!
10) Awww s**t!!! They done set VINCENT BLAIR off and now he’s on the attack with a JOE JETTSON fueled scorcher called “Soviet Maiden!!!” This joint finds Vee at his last wits as he leaves lyrical lacerations across the throats of the competition!!!
