interpolates lyrics from and samples music of “Why” (Remix) by Jadakiss featuring Styles P, Common and Nas (produced by Havoc) [Verse 1] Why is garbage music selling a lot? Why is the music industry state of mind real far from hip-hop? Why…

Now a decade old, I thought I would revisit this mix again. I have done this a few times as I continue to learn the craft. I thought it would be a good exercise to undertake as a start thinking about writing again for the next record.

Prayers to the folks in Japan, We dodged a bullet in Hawaii!

The title track to the new album. Turn it up. Listen all the way through and there's some ear candy at the end for you. ;)
