To pay tribute to both rhymes and rhymesayer, the partnership between NR’s Stan Ipcus, UNT’s Ev Boogie and BTL’s Amir has produced a project that confirms the immortalization of one of Rap’s greatest albums, drafting buzzing artists that range from Timeless Truth to Smoke DZA, Troy Ave, Bodega Bamz, Euro League and more.
