RAL DUKE scores this “Super Shredder” sizzler to perfection as The Umbrella lyrical mastermind corrupts the heart, mind, and soul of his object of affection. Will April take the bait? C’mon now! Good girls love bad guys…so y’all already know the answer!

4) What’s the meaning of a “Beautiful Life” when the world gets uglier by the second?

The mic mercenaries detail thug life ain’t what it’s cracked up to be when you’re standing down the barrel of a gun. There are more victims than survivors on the streets. Stay on track or get clapped when you’re not lookin’!!!

8) UFO FEV & RED INF remind listeners that it’s a lonely road to the top on the VANDERSLICE laced sizzler “Dark Corners!” If you’re looking for a light at the end of the tunnel, nothing’s promised in your quest for fame!
