This looks like a reenactment of GZA’s Liquid Swords cover. Last night at Statik Selktah’s 100 Proof album release party at S.O.B.’s, Freddie Foxxx (brown hat) apparently unleashed a can of whoop ass on the cat in the purple. Great shot Mel D. Someone has to have footage somewhere!
Here is another one off Slay’s compilation dropping next Tuesday. With Alchemist lending a beat, this features some of your favorite Southerners including, um, Nicole Wray? Keep hustling, mama. TNT Previously: New Music: DJ Kay Slay Ft. Joell Ortiz, Jae Millz & Saigon “God Forgive Me”
Inga attempts to stir up some controversy with this track aimed at Jigga, Lil Kim and [insert female rapper here]. It’s too early in the morning for this. Maybe a lil’ too late in her career too. HHDX
Let’s do it again with another remix. This time Diddy hops on board with an oh so slow flow. X

The message behind Road Less Traveled feels inspiring because it highlights independence, creativity, and staying true to your own path.

Looking forward to hearing the full project and seeing how the album develops this theme even further.
