One of our featured producers in our Masters of Ceremony series, A-Villa, gives us a freebie today before he drops his Carry On Tradition LP. The soulful beat on “Smooth It Out” contrasts with the grim images Reks paints while Lili K provides a solution. Florida emcee Reks has two audiences on this one. He speaks to the youth about the older crowd and to the elderly about the younger crowd. His message is to show how everyone can help each other by helping themselves. Chicago singer Lili K urges everyone to learn the lesson and take a chill pill.

Carry On Tradition will feature Big K.R.I.T., Kool G Rap, Freeway, NORE, Action Bronson, Chance The Rapper, Havoc, Roc Marciano, Tree, M.O.P., Killer Mike, Termanology, Joell Ortiz, and many more.
