Track: C.Shreve the Professor – Swordsman (prod. by Flue)
On top of a soundscape put together by NC producer Flue, Free the Optimus representative C.Shreve the Professor’s first release since Professing Vol. 2 is a blatant display of sharpening swords. “Rapping about rapping”, The Professor throws it back with a Run DMC “Sucka MCs” type of boldness.
