Interesting to go back and check these classes to see who stood the test of time
Bleep, did Pill have any standout tracks? OJ Da Juiceman had a bit of buzz surrounding him because of Gucci from what I remember. I fw Fashawn, that man can put in work. As for the rest, I think most of us know the story with them.
Oh shit… I’m not familiar with Donnis either
Best class for sure RIP Nip
