*New Video* Souls of Mischief - Won
For this that complain about there not being any "real hip hop" this has to be as authentic as it gets. This comes courtesy of Audible Treats because I had no clue Souls of Mischief were still doing it. Their new album in called "Montezuma's Revenge" available now at http://www.hieroglyphics.com/ or on iTunes.
In case you're not familiar with these guys and for those that are, time for a throwback. FYI this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I don't have a top 10 or 20, but this was my shit back in 7th grade LOL!
