“It’s been a minute… we still up in it... tunnels from the underground the sky is now the limit…”
Welcome to “Mission Statement”. For the last couple years we’ve been crafting what we feel is our most complete project to date. So here we are… over ten years in the game, still at it for the love of hip hop. Peace y’all, and enjoy the music.
