One of Pittsburgh’s newest emerging artists KRSZ, who represents the clique OSFM, returns today with some new music in a big way. Linking up with fellow 412 native Norman Dean, oh and Riff Raff, the new track entitled ‘For Tha Money‘ is lyrically dopeness! While we totally expect the Neon Icon to kill his verse (which he does), KRSZ is someone to keep an eye on in the latter portion of 2015. Check him over at Twitter if you dig the new music.
