Our Favourite teacher is back with a second single from his forthcoming LP, S.P.T.A. This time, Mr. Cadet takes us back to the sound of the mid nineties with the classic sound of the psycothic neurotic producer named Diamond D. Intelligent lyrics, perfect flow and a brillant beat made with …
Haiti Stand-Up Video Quebec Tribute

Nas “The Lost Tapes 1.5” Mixtape
Even though the beefing is over you’re either a NAS guy or a JAY-Z guy (btw, Nas won that battle!). I’m a NAS guy. Always been. If he wants to put out records until he’s 70 i’ll still be listening (even though his choices of production collaborations and beat choices …
