Nike Nando – Super Nike Nando II (The Masterplan) [Audio]

t’s almost been 5 years since the release of “Super Nike Nando”. A few months ago I recorded “SNN2” with no intention what-so-ever on releasing it until now…The original record is so special because it was my introduction and a anthem for a rebelious DMV hip-hop subculture in a area diluted by “Trap” rap. Since I’ve seen a lot of artist who were suppose to flourish premature too early and never to be heard from again or not have the same impact they had when they 1st debuted. Sadly I’ve learned from they’re mistakes and worked twice as hard to remain relevant not just in my area but to become a staple and franchise for my City & State. “Super Nike Nando II” is abstract and not what you would normally expect from me in a record. No hook & 4 verses of pure madness, humor & whit. I truly hope you enjoy this and share it with whomever you think may enjoy it.

Jadakiss Talks “Feel Like Pac, Feel Like Biggie” And Kendrick’s “Control” Verse [Video]

Your browser does not support iframes. “That should be everybody’s mindset,” he says of Kendrick Lamar’s boast on “Control” that he was “The King Of New York,” but insisted that people have been running with only half of the verse. “Before he said ‘I’m the King of New York’ he said ‘I’m the son of Makaveli.’ So he was making a comparison of representing Big and Pac, but people just let that Makaveli line slip.” “They would be quick to jump on a Kendrick Lamar diss but you wouldn’t play a regular song if I gave it to you on a random Thursday,” he counters.
