To me this is the most haunting rap beat ever produced.. Makes you look over your shoulder rather on the streets or in the basment..

[@lofiphixx]

Even though I was three when this song released my dad put me on to his era of hip hop. So I grew up around it. This jam is something else 💯🔥

Never forget wise painful insights and extract the essence from the agony. Some pearls of Wisdom are only found in the deepest of agony. It can not be bought. Things that are beyond the reach of money are priceless. That is real value. Remember please Sir.
