This one caught me by surprise.

Stresmatic, the dude from The Federation who threatened to put a hole in your head the size of a Susan B. Anthony, is rapping over a strumming guitar about having a fridge full of Mad Dog 20/20 and “a little fried bologna, two syrup sandwiches and pizza by Tony.” The first leak off his upcoming solo project under the name 1st Place, “Be’N Broke Sucks” wins with humor and relatability. Always slick with the pen Stres covers the frantic lows, humility, dreaming and scheming everyone endures with an empty wallet.

Check MySpace.com/1stplacemuzic for more songs that you also probably wouldn’t have expected but are kinda ill on a whole other level. I’m seeing BMX and Skateboard sponsorships in the near the future…
