I Wanna Song f/K-Lee REMIX!!!
The goal of this song is to prove you can have a good, clean, fun clean song that doen't not compromise its bang or lyrical explosiveness. K-Lee rips it on this. Son of Mack drops the beat.

My Hoopty
Everybody has had that car that was a nightmare. That one that you hated to be seen in and kept you at the repair shop. In the midst of keeping it real, I thought it would be dope to do a song about how it was in the old days. Beat by Eddie B

Gasoline(featuring Artofficial)
This was my submission for the Shadowville mix tape contest. Has some east, west, and south all in one song. Worth a listen.

This song is Krunkavicious. The Track features SK9 and the beat is by Definitive Ent. Give it a listen and don't blow your subs.

His hip hop does not copycat any other artist on the market as he looks deep within and high above to give it that extra edge to make it stand on its own...the beats bang and the lyrics speak and you can't help but find yourself bobbing your head to it whether you want to or not :)
