With just five days before his Legends Never Die LP finally hits shelves (and iTunes), R.A. gives us another preview. This time pressing play on “Tom Thum” which was named after an Australian beat-boxer that is featured doing his thing.
The original version kicked off the year and instantly became one of my favorite A$AP songs of 2012. For the rehash he brings a couple familiar faces to the mix. That beat sounds hella different from the original, doesn’t it?
