Artist: Polyester Label: N/A Sample: Mac Dre - Not My Job
"As a big fan of legendary emcee/gamespitta, MAC DRE, this was a no brainer for me. For someone who put his town on the map and always stayed true to himself with killer rhymes and undeniable flavor, I had to make a tribute song in rememerance of his legacy. I chose to re-do one of my favorite Thizzelle Washington songs, ‘NOT MY JOB’ from his 2004 ‘Genie of The Lamp’ album. I flipped all the lyrics but kept the beat and rhyme pattern the same for ‘NOT MY CREEZ’. Hope you enjoy."
2 Chainz is really on his grind, and we are glad to present to you his first project since Codeine Cowboy, earlier this spring. 2 Chainz is on a whole 'nother level then we have ever seen from him right now, and we are stoked to dive into this tape! Have weave killa!
