17 Minutes Of Cold Crush 4 Live
“There’s been an out-break of bad cocaine. If anybody in the house got any cocaine, bring it up. We got a lab downtown”. This sounded like an old party tape until they started rapping over Black Rob’s “Woah” beat. Still great. Another sure-shot from Troy L Smith’s YouTube account.
