So these songs might be a little dated, but hell, they keep it real. Take a listen, you'll understand what I mean. Old school flow, upbeat, fun. True to roots type deals.

"If-if you are listening to the new Z-Trip album on Hollywood Records, we're here, we're being silly, we got Supernatural, Z-Trip, I'm Murs and I like to have a good time and on Saturday mornings I used to like to get a big, fat bowl of cereal and watch cartoons, motherfucker, and if that-- if you can't relate to this song you're taking this shit too serious. It's hip-hop, man, it's-it's fuckin' fun."
