Grip Plyaz – "Purp, wind, and fire" trailer.
Yeah, I’m on my homegrown rap real hard right now (Righchus, Warren Jae, Quell Keith, J.Cole, Boss G, are all in the rotation right now) but I’d be lying to you AND doing this site a disservice if I didn’t tell you that I’m anticipating this joint as much, if not more than, I was...
"I got a dollar and a dream…"
