This is a hot one from the U.K. Six MCs(Conflix, Apex Zero, Menace Mendoza, Skirmish, Reain & Manage) got together to make magic over a boom bap beat produced by Manage.

“Time Off” Big-T Beatz & On Point Featuring Constantine (Produced by Legion Beats)
The dynamic duo is back at it again. Big-T Beatz and On Point have put together tracks that make the streets go crazy. That’s good news because every time they get together they make a banger.
