What do you get when you combine an homage to some of the fallen greats with lo-fi production and a lo-fi delivery, served up on a plate that’s hot and ready to be devoured by earholes everywhere?

If you’ve followed SOTB for a while, you’ll know that whenever JusXJustice drops new tracks, I try to cover them and give them the buzz that they deserve.
