Finally memorised all of RA’S verse!
He painted that gritty war shit verbally,
nothin’ but respect to the illest mother fucker!
One love to an underground legend..
RA BABY…!!!

I want to personally thank you for writing a song to honor our fathers. My father was Capt. Dana A. Dilley (Duncan Falls, Ohio) and having a song memoralizing him makes my heart smile. I am looking at his picture now – while i listen to your song for the 5th time – and while the truth of his death still hurts (I will never fully heal) – your song will be something I treasure and share with family and friends for the rest of my life. I wish I could have heard the stories your father told you and it would be an honor to be able to contact him sometime to find out more about my dad. God Bless the Green Hornets – “When Only The Best Will Do.”

Peace,
Dana S. Gaudet (Dilley)

I always been of the opinion that RA has been on eof the most underappreciated mc’s in the game. Im glad he’s finally getting his due. Cunt Renaissance (remix) is a classic that I still bump.
