This track features FKB going in over a westcoast traditonal beat speaking on the oldschool necessities such as a beeper, gold jewelry, and Aretha tracks.

Wiz Khalifa, Lola Monroe & Juicy J-Oh Gee La (Freestyle)

2012-01-24T21:50:00.000-08:00

Taylor Gang's newest signee's Lola Monroe and Juicy J join Wiz Khalifa in a studio styled visual for their Oh Gee La freestyle. They cover the classic Fugees track and in my opinion I cannot get pass Juicy J's hardcore 3 6 Mafia days to fit the Taylor persona. However, Lola is seeming to fit into the First Lady of TGOD pretty well. Let's see what they've got next.

Personal ft. Cruna
