Lauren Hill's "Lost Ones" is slamming!

it's got a fat instrumental that can rock on its own too,
her delivery has a dope reggae flow

Also check out Tim Luv Lee "confessions of a selector"
its got all kinds of beats and the production is so tight
that it could feasibly move a bunch of frat boys (or girls)

on the other hand, u can try this:
whenever you get a dumbass request
- give them a dumbass answer
- ignore them, pretend like you're busy
- tell them to go drink some more, then they'll like the beats
(it's the truest answer!)

peace
