Need New Music?
When Im riding I need some good music to help keep me moving while zipping through traffic or riding on dirt. I have a huge playlist of certain hiphop thats a must have load on my ipod, and Nas is one of those artist. I check out his album release show last night and it was hott. No really, like in no a/c, but the music was fire. Im loading this on my music player every soon.
