TSS has long been a friend of STL’s Rockwell Knuckles. “Government Name,” the latest from the STL North-sider, melds his syrupy voice and lyrical deftness with some seriously rib-rattling bass. The catchy chorus in particular exemplifies Rocky’s development from talented spitter to song-crafter.
Just remember we choose our friends wisely, so do what you’re told and grab this track.

his cadence & flow there are some entertaining shit & off that joint & the glow alone, I’ll always show respect for cat.
I remember that “Her perfume, she wore” joint from a Afromentals mix… A TSS™ AND DJ Jamad co-signed artist.. you do the math (maths for the English blokes).
