As hard as the Don Cannon/Kanye produced beat for Pusha T’s Numbers on the Board, I didn’t personally feel like he really did it justice, so it’s hardly a surprise that a few other MC’s have tried their hand at flipping it. Enter Stones Throw wordsmith Jon Wayne, reworking it into a underground monster with [...]
After the Sloshpot EP alongside Mr Boss earlier this year (check our review here), it was only a matter of time before Uk Hip Hop’s favourite loudmouth Dirty Dike was back, this time with his third solo album.
