Hardcore rap group Tres Diablos collaborated with Kintab Talas (RIP), Santo, Kevinstrada, Supreme Fist, and FlipTop veteran Sayadd for “FTS”. In this posse track, each individual struck back mercilessly at the corrupt system. The rap metal beat blended really well with the hard-hitting lyrics.

JR Zero – Kadugo
JR Zero showed appreciation to all of his comrades in his new track “Kadugo”. The 3 Digitz member once again went all out with his intricate rhyme schemes and impeccable flow. “Kadugo” also deserves props for its brilliant folk-inspired trap beat.
