Words By Jesse H.

I remember the first time I heard this track off of Soul Survivor II and just being floored at how well the RZA and Pete Rock fused their production styles. But I did some digging & Wikipedia gives production credit to Rock alone, and if that’s the case, he certainly does RZA almost as well as Rakeem himself.

Laced between the haunting flutes, the orchestral string swordfight, the subtle wah-wah guitar and the chopped soul vocal (standard RZA formula) you get those monstrous blasts of those fat cat horns, and anybody whose anybody knows that nobody that Pete Rock is always on some Lucifer shit with them horns.

Head rush indeed.
