I was wondering when they would drop a video for this track, it’s absolutely fantastic. K-os’ Yes!, in US stores November 17th!

Here is street single from Saukrates‘ new LP, Season One, coming real soon. Andreena Mill laces the hook, while Tone Mason supply the heat on the boards! Props to RealFrequency

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know this EP has been up for almost a month now. But so what? We didn’t get a chance to post it when it dropped in mid-September so what better time than now? After giving this project several spins – and I do mean several – I immediately wanted to do something to give King Reign more shine. Not only is he backed by some of T-Dot’s finer producers in Rich Kidd, Boi 1-da, and Saukrates, the King has Pharoahe Monch and Drake bless the mic, too. So I was immediately impressed just from a simple glance at the guestlist and production credits. Then, I gave it a listen and damn, King can spit. And he does so about a number of topics from the ladies, the sticky-green, and just being a talented emcee.

But don’t take my word for it. If you’re looking for something new to bump in your car, your home office, your bedroom, WHEREVER, cop this free project. Props to The Real Frequency for originally posting this and making sure I listened.
