Yeah so, with the exception of Marci’s verse, this entire song is in Japanese. The beat is sick though. This is off Japanese crew Sick Team’s upcoming self titled project which drops on June 2nd and will also feature a track called “Turn It Up” featuring Evidence and another called “Ill Spittas” with Illa J.

Complex hit up the recent Random Axe listening session and they’re put together a track-by-track preview of the LP.
Here’s what they had to say about a cut called “Random Call” which sounds like it will be the next single.
Complex says: There’s a video on the way for this one and that’s probably because (like Black says) it sounds like some end of the world shit. Black handles hook duties as he makes calls from the 3-1-3 to the NYC. Guilty drops bars about how he gave his mom nothing but headaches and P spits that aggressive content, “You can call me one dimensional/But I put six slugs right into you.”

It’s that time of year again where somebody gets mad over one of the XXL Freshman picks. If you missed the vlog in which Mys explains why he’s going at Lil B, hit the jump. Surprisingly, his beef is not really about B’s album title as I expected it to be, but moreso about Mys’ opinion of him as a talentless hack.
This is also probably a good time to plug this interview I just did with Social Media blogger Dan Zarrella. Among the topics covered: beef as a a marketing tool.
