*A note from SEV STATIK: "I put out music because I love my fans and this art. The business of music is a different beast so, I keep it independent for the most part. I've been rhyming before I was a teenager so doing this for about
2 decades is something to talk about. I won't retire. There will be no ceremony. Nothing effects my urge to spit or quit. I have a talent and I want to share it. Plain and simple. Match my grind... then multiply it. That's how it should be done. We're not here that long, so make sure you leave a legacy. Respek".
