Load Bearing Crow's Feet - PremRock (2021)

The New York MC lands on Billy Woods’ (o_O, O_o) Backwoodz Studioz label along with a bunch of features from Backwoodz regulars.

The uniting theme to these tracks is what the title suggests: the weight of growing up and acting your age.

The production is bombed-out and spare and lends an echoing edge to PremRock’s flow. Some of the features don’t seem to catch on to the clever beats but that’s what happens when you get a bunch of features on your record.
