M-Phazes & Sean Price – Dump In The Gut [Stream]

Flush from the success of co-producing Eminem’s “Bad Guy” from the rapper’s platinum-selling The Marshall Mathers LP 2, the Australian-based producer M-Phazes has furrowed back into the New York City rap turf to team up with Sean Price for a new EP project titled Land of the Crooks.
