Top Authority 1993

[@unclebrother6244]

Flint, Michigan had a nice run back in the 80s/90s (Top Authority, MC Breed, The Dayton Family, Ready For The World). This song sounds just as good today (2023) as it did in 1993. Much respect to Top Authority!

[@richardstall4351]

Great run of music i myself still listen to today i used to like the cruise night's i started checking them out kinda late but I made it a point to go to the one in Flint I'd hear about how some of the nicest rides were to be seen in Flint Town and that some of the top hustlers owned the nicest rides I'm glad very glad i got to go and experience it even though it was only once just like all of the others I was able to see. sry I just wanted to share my experience with you Happy New Year

[@Guto_Loco_Gushek_Brasil]

M-Town be the shit. They the shit too. Triple 6 and Dayton family got hella shit together, mane. I think the 90s would have reached absolute perfection if they made a collab tape with the hardest outta Memphis, Flint-Detroit, and Sac Town in the same shit. Those were for real the hardest areas of 90s rap hands down.
