Baltimore artist Jay Wyse continues his Wyse Wednesday series with a freestyle/revision of Jeezy’s smash “Seen It All.” Wyse had one of the top ten albums/mixtapes out of the area last year, and that wasn’t just Al Shipley’s opinion.

Cooley of the Fly Rebel Society (@FlyRebelSociety) released his first single, “Crazy,” off of his first solo project, #47. Featuring Tupac-as-Bishop-from Juice quips, Cooley flows effortlessly over a chill, turn-up beat.
