Big up @sonraw.bsky.social for sharing this story on the show with @freemusicempire.bsky.social 👏🤣

Massive respect 👊🏽

For what it's worth, I can vouch for the awesomeness of this EP. At least once a week I get the hook from their 2023 song "The General" stuck in my head. Also, shout out to Five Steez for including lyrics on his Bandcamp page. I'm always surprised more rappers don't do that!
