The second single from AMSOC’s new compilation album, Background Check 2, “On My Mind” was originally featured on the EP, The Cartel Collection, but has since been re-mixed & re-mastered by JanZoo, & features a special guest appearance from Rapper Big Pooh, formerly of Little Brother.
In the lead up to the next FreshNerd cassette beat tape release, 100 Akres delivers a fresh intro featuring Rapper Big Pooh (formerly of Little Brother).
Pooh drops an honest 16 bar reality check over a FreshNerd assisted chopped breakbeat and sultry vocal sample. The marriage of the two make for a unique take on soulful hip hop while keeping one foot in the future beat realm whilst the other holds firm in the authentic hip hop arena.
