Portland rapper Mat Randol teams up with certified Gold producer of A$AP Ferg’s “Shabba” record, producer Snugsworth for their first collaborative EP, Libero.

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @JayWonderBruh – World Premier EP
I’m a sucker for bars over Premier beats. I mean, who the hell isn’t? But, when you step on a Premier beat, you’ve got to come correct.
