Description : THE PROMISED LAND-FOR MY GRANDFATHER-
You were old then and I was young/I'm all grown up now, I'm your daughters' son/ sittin on your lap things were ok, never had a care about another day/ I miss the wings on your shirt, outside playin' in the dirt, checkers, goin to church, walkin the dogs and holdin your hand/ You were my example of a man, so what I was too young, I didn't understand/ If I could I'd reach out and grab your hand and pull you right back from the promised land.
The Promised Land-For My Grandfather
My Grandfather died when I was 11 (back in '81). It left an indelible mark on my soul. My Grandfather and Grandmother always gave me a dime everytime I called them Grandfather and Grandmother, they hated grandpa and grandma. My Grandfather was an airline pilot and I will always remember the wings on his shirt.
I love you Grandfather, see you in heaven.......

Man this was sweet the only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that it is to short LOL I could have listened to this for a few minutes more nice touch,heartfelt lyrics and cool message! a nice change from gangsta rap trip hop cop killa type stuff going on these days! Don't get me wrong guys I'm not dissin'
there is a needed place for that stuff too!
There just isn't much of this style going on right now ! Good Job phasturbo! thumbs up!

It's so short because I had just gotten my Akai MPC 1000 and was really just learning how to use it, so I began that beat as kind of a pointless project and as I went along with it, I came up with this! Strange how that happens, huh? Thanks for the nice comment.

Description : This is hardcore hip hop. Very Dr DRE, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj style with a euro dance vibe /feel and with a hip hop beat. Lot's of bass in the track too. Hope you enjoy my new rap track. I have edited the previous track since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here.

Description : This started with Mindway's song 'Hammer Fall' - he is a frequent collaborator with us, both our beats as well as his. This time we did both - Pnnywze Made some drops and blended those into the existing track, and its a must hear man. Hope you like it!

Vocals: Vizzio, Professor Hexx, Mindway, and Rob Fame
