The sample and grimey feel of that beat up'd the anty for sure 💯. Especially that continuous 'crackling' noise throughout the track? Don't get me started haha. Hopefully we can get another 'Realness' from Mega. We gotta protect this dude 😤 💯. I got my CIA outfit ready 🤣.

    great interview..cormega is a perfect example of not being mainstream but being able to live off rap. to have an international fanbase that's always there for you is a great blessing. Peace to mega, he earned it. He was 31 when the realness came out, so he was already older than your average rapper back then. But he made it anyway.
