Here’s a new clip off Mary Kate and Ashley Nina Sky’s upcoming album, The Musical. So far, the twins are batting a thousand in my book. Their other cut with Cadet Ross, is muy bueno too.

Man, Joell Ortiz dropping “Battle Cry” live at Guz Sports Bar was unreal! The energy in that room was insane, totally beating any boring online hangout or digital trivia session like zoom games. From the second he hit the stage, his lyricism and raw delivery blew everyone away. If you weren't there, you seriously missed out on peak hip-hop culture. Absolute chills from start to finish!
