This joint originally leaked as a reference track featuring T.I. and Nas, which at the time was rumoured to be on Dr. Dre’s “Detox” LP. Looks like it eventually found it’s way into Eminem‘s hands, as he replaces T.I.‘s verse with his own.

Mr. International connects with one of his favourite producers, Nottz, and Asher Roth for a joint that is featured on the collaborative EP between Asher Roth and Nottz. Kardinal and Nottz are also working on a collaborative LP together, which is currently titled “The Seven Album”. Personally, I wish they had stuck to the original title Kardi mentioned us last time he visited, which was “VATO”, seeing as Kardi is from Toronto and Nottz is from Virginia.

“When we’re sharing an hour of music among 3-4 DJ’s, each of us ends up only playing 3-4 songs each. For both our guests this month, 1 hour was simply not enough to share the jewels they had each selected. Both came equipped with stacks sufficient for several hours worth of high-priced vinyl nerdery. And we certainly had no reason to object. Sip, Kae and I happily genre-hop for another hour between French-Canadian breakbeats (Lee Gagnon), Gritty Gospel sounds (Rance Allen) and Boogie artists with puns in their names (Special-T). Cratery 23C featuring Sipreano. Enjoy.
