Tuki Carter ft. Aleon Craft - Green Backs (Prod. by Odizzy Beats)

Wiz Khalifa was very smart to sign Hollyweerd's Tuki Carter to Taylor Gang. He's got southern soul that the game needs with venomous delivery to match. On "Green Backs" Tuki Carter recruits fellow ATLien Aleon Craft and producer Odizzy Beatz to introduce us to his forthcoming project, Atlantafornication.

Fresh off of Huffing Glue With Hasselhoff, Jarren Benton has a contender for mixtape title of the year with his upcoming project Freebasing With Kevin Bacon, but the title may not be all that's praise worthy. His new single "Half Ounce, Quarter Pound" featuring Aleon Craft possesses all the qualities of a turnt up classic thanks to Jarren Benton's flow, the infectious hook and Roc N Mayne's bass heavy production.



Freebasing With Kevin Bacon is set to drop in May with features from Gangsta Boo, Rittz Law and more!
