      Growing up as a pre teen in the 90's with my radio always on lock to my local urban station in Richmond VA trying to record the hottest tracks like this one onto blank cassettes is the stuff of good memories.

Biggie, Pac, Groove Theory, Lil Viscious, Zhane, Brand Nubian, Naughty, SWV, Kut Klose, Nas, Kim, Foxy, Jay, Black Moon, Coco Brovaz, Lost Boyz and the list goes on... All had joints out. Like Blac Panther said SO MANY FLAVORS! That's when I met my wife. Miss those days of New York Undercover, Chinese food and Karl Kani! NYC4LYFE

    This is an underrated classic right here. One of the many Dancehall Reggae tracks that mixed with Hip Hop. If you don't understand this song. Basically this song is about putting the guns away and fighting with fists. Mad Lion was down with BDP (Boogie Down Productions) KRS One's crew for those youngins that don't know real Hip Hop.
