Johnny May Cash – All Over [Prod. Young Chop]
Chop and the 8TMG crew sure aren’t being shy with the leaks from the 8TMG project, which is due out October 10. The leaks thus far have been stellar (“Codeine” and “Remember Me”), so let’s see if they keep it up with their latest “All Over.” Young Chop on the beat yet again.

Words by Ty Kidd (@TYKIDD) Cruel Summer was definitely one of the more interesting projects to be released so far this year. The LP wasn’t what a lot of people expected, but it still delivered. There were a few low-points, but ‘Ye may make up for those with a follow-up project.
