IN 1999, AT THEIR FIRST DAY AT ST. BERNARD HIGH SCHOOL, Y-O MET THURZDAY, ANOTHER RAW MC. DURING LUNCH THEY WOULD HAVE FREESTYLE BATTLES THAT WOULD GET THE WHOLE SCHOOL WILD. THEY QUICKLY RECOGNIZED EACH OTHER’S TALENTS.

This street album is dope as fuck, the freshest sounds I've heard in a long while. Definitely worth checking out and supporting. I'm hyped about this duo now and look forward to hearing an official album, you will be to after giving this a listen. Gimme some feedback about what YOU think of this dope release...
"Beautiful Day"
