Wazzup
Muirdah Dawg's classic "Wazzzup". This fool brought the dirty south to the north east way before anyone else did. He the had funk in his trunk keeping it crunk with an amazing track supplied by Claw.

F**K You
Spee*D sent this time about a year ago. He had been working up in Chi-town and put this together with a producer friend of his. Over a booming beat with sharp orchestral stabs and playful piano Spee*D brings his wild style with humor and social perspective.
NOTABLE QUOTES:
"Cause things ain't free in this economy/ And even good skins can't feed my family/ Or pay for the degrees that has me owing g's/ To Sally Mae and two Universities" - Spee*D
Blood Red Dressing
The intro is a sample from Fantastic Four's 1967 animated series served up over a chunky beat, with a driving bass line and vibrant violins. Claw and Shockwave concocted this savory morsel back in 2000 and it still holds up to this day. Although it is only one verse it still displays Shockwave's wicked wordplay over Claw's impeccable instrumental.
NOTABLE QUOTES:
"I hold my mic like a knife - steady dissecting/ Life and its mysteries have me wondering and vexing/ Is there more? - in this life - where is a lesson?/ A spiritual guidance keeps me going -one direction/" - Shockwave

December 2001 Freestyle Session
This session features Kwote, Cise, Climax and Nekia up in the 202 9th Street studio. This particular selection features the three emcees rapping while Nekia belts out some vocals over this Mobb Deep instrumental.
Notable Quotes:
"And we had the dream to represent Brooklyn and Queens/ We got freestyles and we drop sixteen/ Twenty-fours and more - whatever - kicking metaphors/ Every time we spit everybody knocks the door/ They want more..." - Climax
