At least twice a week someone fairly random asks me about my group Critically Acclaimed. The group consists of me (Quartermaine), DJ Marshall Law and one of my best friends and illest unsigned rappers, Caliber. It’s been some time since we went in the studio to cook up some pure for you fiends! Rest assured [...]

Riding around BK yesterday listening to Hot97, DJ Envy dropped this “jewelry” on the public. Nearly crashed the whip… Here is the full version I received in my inbox at 5:38am this morning.

Yep, that’s correct. I know, it makes me feel old too.

Introducing a new form of street art…
