I really don't know my damn self mane I just had to put something new out there for people to listen to and you know what they liked it and its a blessing that an artist like you decided to use it Can't wait till that album drop mane People feeling that bread track a lot
aye yo how's that track with the beat I sent ya coming along Holla at me mane check the plays for the bread track on my page We getting mad plays yo holla back
peace king ... everything is good man just tryna make that good music for the people to pick up hopefully ... working real hard man .. just tryna make sure it pays off the right way i guess..... whats good with you though man . keep with it though msan
Okay cool so I can put the bread track on myspace now I mean its really a banging track with one hell of a collabo Holla back I'll be sure to do that playa Holla back
Mane a lot of people feeling that beat for some reason Right now I'm charging people for exclusive beats so when they buy it the beat belongs to them and only them If it was a non-exclusive beat then more than one artist can claim it The beat you're asking for is an exclusive beat but since you allowed me to get on your track which is off da hook Imma send it to you for free let me know whats good
