Produced by 88-Keys Man, this is really dope. 88-Keys crushed this instrumental, and Nemo and BJ did their thing as usual. Very dope groove here. This is a leak from Nemo’s forthcoming project CW88 [Conversations With 88-Keys], which is produced by, you guessed it, 88-Keys. Get your hands on the Mp3 below.

Dally Auston – Great Gatsby
Produced by OnGaud Today, Dally Auston is the Great Gatsby, and I don’t care if you feel otherwise.

This grandiose joint is pulled from the 119 Productions…
