Actually I got one more for ya’ll. Surock adds his touch to a Royce x Cee-Lo collab that was originally produced by Nottz on Independent’s Day. Look out for his remix EP dropping early 2010.

Big shouts to Trackstar and TSS for putting together something like this.

Since Jay-Z stopped worrying about being the best and declared himself the greatest, many people have claimed the title of Best Rapper Alive, but few as often as Lil Wayne and Royce Da 5′9″. While Wayne is a global superstar and Royce owns the underground, they seem to share similar taste in beats — “D.O.A.,” “I’m Me” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” as notable examples. I went ahead and put together twelve rounds of Nickel and Weezy facing off over the same beat, threw in a boxing motif, and now I’ll let the people decide. – Trackstar the DJ

I’m still having power issues and my laptop isn’t built to run 20 hours straight without a charge (go figure haha). So I’ve been MIA for the latter part of the day. But look… I come back with heat!
