I’ve heard this song before, but never reallly went out of my way to listen to it.  But what I”ve realised after actually properly listening is that I’ve heard this song 1000 times. It’s an instrumental that I’ve heard in so many rap battles and I’m sure I’ve heard it on some video games too!

I have got anything too profound to say about the song and to be honest anything I say won’t do the song justice if you actually listen to it. Simply because the way he articulates his upbringing and the story he tells in this joint for  me personally is just incredible.  Is this the best Nas? Some people would say so. But I really like his Life Is Good album.

Don’t get me wrong. This is gritty, raw and and 0 bs and something people from the streets love to death but he has so many sides to his raps for me I really liked some of his later stuff. That might divide opinion but hey ho! Let me know what you think.

Enjoy the choice and salute to @Blocksandboundaries. Dope brand with some dope gear. It was great meeting you at Snobcon.
