YOU KNOW WHERE YOU GOT IT FIRST

“Since Jay-Z stopped worrying about being the best and declared himself the greatest, many people have claimed the title of Best Rapper Alive, but few as often as Lil Wayne and Royce Da 5′9″. While Wayne is a global superstar and Royce owns the underground, they seem to share similar taste in beats — “D.O.A.,” “I’m Me” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” as notable examples. I went ahead and put together twelve rounds of Nickel and Weezy facing off over the same beat, threw in a boxing motif, and now I’ll let the people decide.”

The Sicktape sees S-Preme narrating the spikes and spirals of being an aspiring
MC. Each track unveils another chapter in the protagonist's journey thru the
limelight, including some unexpected hurdles that many in the industry are all
too familiar with. By the end, The Sicktape will have rising stars and star-
gazers wondering whether the "big time" truly is worth the sacrifice of mind,
body, and - in most cases - the soul.

Guest spots from Amanda Diva and ESSO along with production from Soundtrakk
(Lupe Fiasco's in-house beatsmith) and Charles Hamilton set the scenes for this
audio odyssey.
