  • Limited Edition T-shirt (Cardinal red shirt w gun metal ink)
    T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album

    This is actually my favorite color combination. The picture is a little deceiving. The shirt's more like a brick red. The "gun metal" ink looks super sick too. It has a slight sparkle which actually makes it look like grip tape on a skateboard or black/grey sand paper. It really pops.

    Includes unlimited streaming of the album via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Sold Out

  • T-Shirt/Apparel + Digital Album

    Silver & Black for all the Raider fans out there. ***make sure to wash inside out cuz for some reason the bright silver ink fades after washer quicker than the other inks. Actually ends up with a cool slightly aged look, but just not as bright.***

about

EVERYtime these two get on a track together, its scary. They've proven it time and time again over the last 16 years. This time, Shames actually supplies the beat to discect as he goes back and forth with the West Covina OG. Yea, they're still around. Don't worry.

lyrics

(SW)
Get your children and put 'em to bed.
I'm a bull in a china shop and I see red.
It's about to hit the fan. 
Yep, you should split like Jean Claude Van Damme.
Rock the Planet like Afrika Bam.
Pole to pole's my wingspan.
So bicoastal feels local man.
The Afghanistan of grammar's who I am.
But "avoid disaster" is really my master plan.
I can force the issue but NOT my master's hand.
Thy will be done.
Make it work like MINI coopers to computers or Tim Gunn.
That's the way my project's run.
This aint a catwalk. It's where the big dogs stomp.
I'm a product of circumstance and pomp.
I get to walk the stage but no cap and gown,
just my rap and sound. 
Grab a mic & pitch a fit like I just took the mound.
Then the Earthworm's above ground.

(Jurny Big)
I'm a "killa" on it.
Was finna stick around 'til I could put a million on it.
But didn't happen exactly how I planned.
So I stick to doing cameos for my main man.
Still a Cameo will make you throw ya "Word Up!"
and place you "in the hole" like you was batting 3rd up.
Still I promise Philharmonic isn't on his last leg.
Simply had to wear with all the "get up out the fast lane."
I'm a rap imperial wizard. Scratch the serial
and bury y'all materialistic rhymers.
Not your regular rhyme Doctor
got ya by just a couple of notches above your prime.
No wonder I'm disliked by the masses
cuz I'm hap-hazardous. "Mic Masters"
Battle us? Naw Bruh.
Be serious. We clearly head of the heap.
Leaps and bounds on a Shames Worthy beat.

(SW)
No surrender, no retreat.
Chillin' in the "hot seat"
Like the Lakers in the kitchen,
YES we can take the Heat.
Then we take it to the street
on our way to 3-peat.
Fast-breakin' on the beat.
We two of the elite.
Peep our feet crack the concrete.
Cali Quake, my fault.
Act like they all street?
Might get hit up tomorrow.
I wanna ball for my family. I want it all.
I don't need to be a star. You recall.

(Jurny Big)
I remember meeting Raphi at the age of 16.
Kid was painting pictures on the verge of Sistine.
Now he on some swervin' with the drive of "Christine"
and running over jokers 'til he get him his ring.

(Shames Worthy)
So Fresh and So Clean. We coaching your team.
You benched hoping that we let you on the scene.
I kept a smokescreen and swept the whole thing.
I slept only to dream. Show me the green.
Homie's a machine!

(Jurny Big)
Its silly y'all question whether we still down,
cuz 'til we kill a milli we gon' be around.
There's way too many talkin' how they "run this town"
and I'm gon' get to dumpin' on 'em. How that sound?

(Shames Worthy)
Like a plan, we run it.
I'm gon' take it like a man,
whatever punishment come from it.
I aint gonna run from it. Bring it on, come widdit.
Some critics aint gon' get it. I admit it.
We did it deliberate for the fun it. Hit it!

(both)
We still around. Don't worry.
No wonder why some of these kids still sound so "skury"
Now go scurry out tho. Hurry!
The sound gon' bury y'all.
NOW go worry. (Ring the Alarm)
(repeat)
