3 10 2008Mobb Deep – Shook Ones Pt. II
I was listenin’ to Pandora radio at work (if you aren’t up on it, you need to hit that up), and I came across one of my favorite joints from the Infamous album by Mobb Deep.

Hearing an album that dropped over a decade ago and it’s still listenable today is a classic and passed the test of time. Therefore I bring you today’s throwback track, “Shook Ones Pt. II”.
