Remember that soulful sound we used to get from Kanye’s early days? That sound resurfaced recently with the No I.D. produced track The Greatness. I was put on to Pac Div a while back with their affiliation with the Los Angeles Unified Sound District, they all repped the West Coal well on this inspiring track. You’ll [...]
