Smoke DZA - Cuz I Felt Like It [FreEP] (Artwork: NSFW)

Smoke DZA put out a free EP out of nowhere and before you ask why, just read the title-- Cuz I Felt Like It. I'll let him elaborate:

I was on Nah Right on saturday scrolling thru being a fan, trying to see what's going on in the music world. Young Roddy dropped a tape on sunday and i got inspired and felt like rappin. So i called my engineer mat cody up and told him to come to the trap. I rapped over some of my friends beats plus a few other tunes i thought was cool, hit 2 of my homies from harlem, and put it out for free cuz i felt like it #Rrrright

I've put the cover art after the jump, so look if you dare. NSFW
