Pretty much all the components of this track are nice\/well chosen and constucted (breaks, nice sub, ragga vocs), but really the thing it&#8217;s known for best are those great vocals, taken from from the &#8220;Above the Rim&#8221; (90&#8217;s basketball movie starring Tupac) soundtrack. The artist behind this EP didn&#8217;t do anything else under this alias but is the same guy behind all those great GOOD 2 BAD &#038; HUGLY releases, Jimmy Ryan. This might just be his biggest tune as I know it was on some comps and pretty much anyone I talk to about old tunes has nothing but good things to say about this one!
