NR blew the spot up. The record is from the More Than A Game soundtrack and is credited to Drake featuring the three rap heavyweights. Due Friday. Produced by Boy Wonder. Boi-1da (My bad!). That guy hit the jackpot. Ha!

New verses to this unreleased Young Money gem! The hook is dope. Can’t wait to hear it!

Update: Karen Civil came through right before I put this up.

Last night on the Sly Fox, O’Reilly-Oh,Really responded to the Jigga man’s jab on “Off That“. A regular Otis Redding, though? *dies*

Black History Fun Fact: In 1864 Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missouri abolished slavery. A year later, the 13th Amendment freed the slaves nationwide. And all this time, you thought it was Lincoln.
