No doubt, actually Rae introduce me to New York hiphop when I bought his single for Ice Cream. And love that piano loop, made me think of Ripley Believe it or Not jingle. And just like the jingle, it made me think of mystery. And completely lost me with the slang, couldn't make sense of what he said. But when I got Liquid Swords it was a movie. I could picture everything, and one of the epic verses from a futuristic dystopian world. "The year 2002, the battle still with the Wu, six million devils will die, from the bubonic flu...".
That just blew my mind open, made me a super fan with the Wu.
