Sick shit from outta my head I gotta my hair on
Livin where niggas bear arms, cop watching and stare wrong
Gassed up, they pass out after the lungs hit it
These bitches dimwitted and dumb-witted, I done did it

Queens is being represented correctly as the Loaf Muzik MC Kidaf goes bananas on his new visual for “Nitty Gritty“. Produced by Laronisloser and directed by their in-house production company Loaf Muzik Films, the mean MC provides that lyrical grit New York’s been known to provide the culture for decades. Kidaf also performed this record for his recent show at YouTube in collaboration with TeamBackPack and amazed the entire crowd with the live rendition. Be sure to stay tuned to the squad’s new collaborative album set to be released in 2015 and enjoy the lyricism down below!

TeamBackPack is known for consistently dropping quality cyphers as long as they’ve been around, and the NYC crew Loaf Muzik are the latest to put on for their hometown. Comprised of members Shadow the Great, Kidaf, Oso Dope, and Shine Sinatra, the Queens-Brooklyn MC’s made sure that they bodied their first opportunity on the series. They’re performances are also full of high energy, most notably known for killing the Afropunk stage twice in a row and their recent shows for CMJ.

Produced by Big Malk, this “LAX to JFK” installment really stands out as one of the companies best well-rounded cyphers full of bars and energy. Make sure to check the cypher down below and if you’re still a fan, watch Loaf Muzik’s most recent video for “My Style” right here.
