ReplyDeleteKinda cheatin because I discovered that one late 2019:
ReplyDeleteMack The Jack'a - Doing Dirt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOhyJAC5IAw
I had a time period at work in december were I fell down in a hole of early 90's tapes from Flint/Saginaw/Upper Michigan, thanks to that youtube channel as well as various uploads from hotboxsocial and old comps from Chicken N Kalinka, but that song is probably the highlight of it.
As a general rule of thumb, you can't go wrong with rap songs titled Doin ' Dirt.
ReplyDeleteslap n da trunk... unbelievable knock, that's Roblo for you too though, hugely underrated producer.
ReplyDeleteA not so thinly-veiled A-Wax dis song too.
