Somehow this new “Nothin’ Lesser” jam from Trademark & Young Roddy reminds me just a little of some old nineties hiphop track (don’t ask me which one). Dunno why, but it just sounds right w/ production by Cookin Soul and apparently directed by 2dopeboyz. Go and download that “Jet Life To The Next Life”.
