Believe me when I say this will blow your mind from the first track. I will most certainly be paying attention to H.O.P.E. after running through this project.

My state > yours. This is off Tayyib's second tape, Keystone State of Mind, set for a late April release.

Vagabonds - Predictions
As a former South Florida resident myself, I must say Miami needs some more artists to step up and represent for the 305. This helps the cause. Their latest project, Good Neighbors, can be downloaded here.

Crazy how much of an impact he had on the game with such a short time to do so. Forever an underground Hip Hop great.
