Cupcakke is so iconic. And so kind and so generous.

Flohio might be my favorite; Cupcakke runs a close second. And Kari Faux. Wow. Thank you for the intro, flt!

Please enjoy some Dope Saint Jude.

This situation - where Flohio isn't huge - needs to be rectified.

Yes, new rap! That Ms Banks was decent in places. And Quay Dash had a little Bahamadia in BKLYN. Otherwise, I'm going to sit back and wait for Rye Rye to come crush the game again. I really appreciate you putting this post together.
