Papoose – Control Freestyle (Response To Kendrick Lamar)
Papoose goes for the jugular in his response to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Control’ verse. While everyone else generally took a somewhat more conservation approach, our favorite stage crasher take automatic direct shots at Kendrick with no mercy.
Still not as dope as Kendrick’s verse though (I’ll just say that’s my opinion if anyone else on here disagrees).

The Kid Daytona – Friendz (Video)
If and when he returns, I would bet that The Kid Daytona is going to wish that he had stayed in France…
While out in Annecy, France… I met some good people that reminded me of some friends from NYC. Here I was, in a place I’ve never heard of before landing there, feeling like I was right at home. I wrote these raps over KRS One’s classic “A Friend” instrumental, mainly because I thought all of this “No New Friends” shit was corny… If new people come into your life and bring positivity, prosperity, and new money opportunities… I say welcome them with open arms! And on the flip side of that, having people in your life with no drive and a bunch of negativity isn’t healthy at all… With that said, enjoy the visuals… “Friendz”
