Three Emcees (Part One)

Lamada pulled samples out of thin air for this extremely satisfying head bobbing beat. The change ups always get me and keep me interested in what happens next as the three emcees deliver some tight verses.

Just straight up hip hop skills: Beats + Rhymes = Rewind & Play Again.

World War 3 (1998 Demo)

I never heard the AZ song utilizing the same sample until years later so this Lamada version remains the crown jewel in my playlist. The demo version of this song includes Anoir and E.N.S. with Claw appearing on later versions and the remixed version created by ELP.

NOTABLE QUOTES:

"We're existing in an era where a man gives a child much more than a kiss/ To only receive a slap on the wrist/ Pedophiles run wild from the city to the burbs/ Where half of our youth are doing more than puffing herbs" - Anoir Akbar

"I'll never be an equal in the eyes of the beast/ An so tensions increase on these here streets" - E.N.S.
