Constructing a verse is easy. Constructing one with meaning, passion, and longevity, however, is the trick. Every fan, critic, and casual listener of Hip-Hop has at least one or two 16s they can turn to reflect on in good times and receive guidance through in bad times. At its very core, it’s powerful. Relating to another person’s words and emotions as if they were your own was the reason music was created and the sole testament why it remains the language of the world.

The next masterpiece of Yours Truly and TSS’ “3:16″ series centers around two young men who have made incredible strides in the past year and a half. Pill and Freddie Gibbs have become known for their raw, aggressive and unapologetic approaches, garnering recent co-signs from some of the game’s most respected tastemakers in DJ Drama and Bun B. The two aren’t as a duo, either, and we still suggest/request they do a full length project together. Their music tells stories they’ve seen or witnessed first hand, but this feature digs deeper than just a verse. Rather, the story behind their chosen verses are exposed, shining more light and appreciation for what was already respected.
