So, if you’ve been following my timeline the past couple days, you’ll see an artist by the name of @AMPKILLA in my mentions.

Read moreMGK feat Pusha T and Meek Mill – "Peso"
H/T to @DDotOmen for the link. So, MGK pulls a J. Cole-esque flow out of nowhere, teams up with Pusha (solid as always) and Milly (who delivers a bit cliched verse on this one) and turns a very familiar Aloe Blacc track on its head for a track that could very well be a mainstream-heavy anthem […]
