El Gant feat. Chris Webby & Ill Bill – 3 Amigos [Stream]

With three different flows: El Gant’s breakneck style, Chris Webby’s rap attack and Ill Bill’s legendary heavyweight bars, “Three Amigos” offers the perfect blend legends and new school talent on one dope track. Whether you’re a new head unfamiliar with Bill’s classic catalog, or a Boom bap aficionado unfamiliar to Webby, Gant skillfully brings both artists together in a way that you’ll inevitably become a fan of both. Over this guitar heavy instrumental, JOAT (Jack of all Trade) provides a beat that begs to be rapped over; thankfully, the three emcees do it justice. “Three Amigos” is the lead leak off El Gant’s Beast Academy LP, which is set to drop next Tuesday, June 10th. For those who haven’t been paying attention to El Gant, stop sleeping.

Bahs & Scahs came from Kenneth Whalum & Big K.R.I.T’s Going Away and was revisited by the Loop God Doc da Mindbenda at GrindHouse Studios in Chicago. This record is Vic Spencer at his finest, using wordplay and deep dark voice to the max. The way Spencer say things can hit you hard at heart and to think that his music is going through “vertical integration”, it’s only going to get better business-wise. I’ve never heard Vic Spencer put words together and the rhyme pattern is very different on this record. Give this one a few spins and catch the wordplay. My personal favorite is “I feel like Im getting better/My lady’s face is World Peace, I
