Been a Czarface fan, Lice fan, Run the Jewels fan, Dilated Peoples fan, Swollen Members fan, CunningLynguists fan, Bad Meets Evil fan--all of them! Deck has always been low-key making moves away from the mic and dropping jewels on the mic; put some 'spect on that mans name.

    all facts.. they tricked everyone into thinking its free too. Thats why the streaming system is still in play cause of how they set it up. They know older heads don’t got the time to go to stores and sit with albums anymore they git wirk and famailesn They know many of the yung heads are clueless to the history of music and retail and fron the gate think music is and should be free cwuse whats $10-$15 a month to stream on a dsp. What they don’t realize though is that shit is gona fizzle out sooner than later. And even if not totally you won’t find all your fav artists on there anymore. Shits about to flip.
