Late pass, gas, grass and lots of cash

Big Hongry - Early One Morning
(From Early One Morning single; 2020)



5 years late on this song, but I'm down for the count like that serf Renfield. Nas was "half-man, half-amazin'", Big Hongry is half-Afroman, half Mac Dre. Early One Morning is more goofy than mainey and it's a pity Hongry didn't run with this style because it hits distinct. Hongry is an IRL sk8er boi which means he can wear a Thrasher hoody without the ghost of NyQuil haunting him to demand he names 3 Geoff Rowley clips.

Hongry hails from Richmond, California, but Early One Morning was produced by some Swiss bloke called Quest Beatz and the video was shot in Switzerland. Damn, son - they got Lil' Debbie lookalike video hoes in Switzerland!

    'you can send me to heaven or hell but i ain't going back to a 2 man cell' is a cold line.

  5. I should give Splash Bakery a hat tip here because I looked this up after watching Hongry perform it with The Yee Section.

  6. Awesome one, best way to start in the morning is to stumble upon such a song.

    Getting some Ezale vibes in a couple of line deliveries as well, must be a Bay thing.

    Also, possible K-Dee reference? https://youtu.be/xifYLnLkt08?si=KBnIaUGQ6Fv1Z6k_
