Story behind the song
Becoming displeased and concerned with this direction rap music seems to be going since it’s arguably most innovative period in the early 90’s, lyricists Tur-Bo, Y.K.C., the 23rd Stallion, and beatmaker, AL-G decided to form 857 in order to provide an alternative to many of the current mainstream trends promoted by the industry and restore the originality, creativity, and variety that hip-hop used to offer. This philosophy is deeply embedded within their music since it collectively embodies all the elements of hip-hop that they've enjoyed and always appreciated combined to form a new style and sound. www.857music.com
