Yessir!!!!

Seriously RA outdid himself on this whole album. Just the features tells the story of who he really is in hip hop. Legendary status for my man.
-
Busta Rhymes: "These dudes are spitting" 🔥😆👌🏾💯
-
RA went from Basically being blacklisted from music studios to being the king of the underground. The man is too good to ignore
-
I never lose faith in Hip Hop's future every time I listen to AFRO
-
I feel an A-F-R-O / Rugged Man album needs to happen. I would love Czarface vs. Ruggedfro.
-
RIP Gift of Gab... there will never be another. Pulling Jazzy out was sick. I think you guys could do another trio piece with Blabbermouf, keep the roll rolling. These Collabs AFRO and R.A. are doing are definitely what everyone needs.
-
"The lyrical attack in the Attica prison, Genetics, eugenics, a Gattaca vision"....that was a whole of metaphor lot in one line there brother.
-
This album is the definition of "masterpiece". Take notes.
-
Being black balled by the industry is the greatest accomplishment an artist can achieve. It means you didn’t sell your soul or want to practice to deceive. 👓
-
The disrespect of RA only having this amount of subs… you ask any rapper alive and they’ll tell you how good RA really is..
-
criminally underrated. the whole album is a staple of modern hiphop. ra is the perfect synthesis and the embodiment of what hip hop should have become if there would be no instagram and tiktok...
-
THIS SONG IS SO HARD. A CLASSIC ALBUM. RA PAYING HOMAGE TO HIPHOP.
-
Nobody is getting close to this level. The layers on this album are incredible
-
Jazzy Jeff still probably my favorite hip-hop DJ of all time. People who haven’t listened to him assume he must still be stuck in the 80s on the Fresh Prince sound, but he’s a music historian on the level of somebody like Questlove & it shows.
-
You hear rappers on social media but, this is not just rap....this is hip hop.
-
Who's excited to see this after hearing A-F-R-O talk about it on his live stream?
-
So glad A-F-R-O entered the definition of a rap flow contest and you discovered him and introduced him to a bunch of legends. Fucking love this song.
-
Y'all give me faith that Hip Hop will never die.
-
The verses on this track are incredible! That fast rap by RA on the second verse is just absolutely insane! And this AFRO guy? He is incredible I wanna listen to his album ASAP
