Nothing’s free during tax season — except for this two-piece EP from All Star Opera. Tax Season Special finds ASO rappers Flow Carter and Oz trading the mic over producer Breve’s organic, Golden Era throwbacks.
Ju-Ju Twist, the self-proclaimed “Young Colossus,” is out to wake the baked. Watch for his BraveHeart 2 tape coming soon.
