Sirrealist, Theez, A1 Beanz – “Mask On”

If you thought that the West Coast is all about G-Funk and similar genres, you got it all wrong. Forget about sunny days, palm trees, and relaxing by the seaside — these MCs are coming from the dark alleys of Cali, bringing nothing but sharp lyricism and tough punchlines carefully constructed to build authenticity in the game. With “Mask On,” following the calm but gritty beat done by WerdPerfect, the rapping trio Sirrealist, A1 Beanz, and Theez spit bars with integrity and meaning, pulling inspiration from the classic hip-hop era to deliver nothing but utter quality. This is a real underground experience with no mainstream shenanigans.
