One year after G The Mastermind released his thrilling tale “Murder She Wrote”, he’s back again with a twisted remix featuring the woman’s perspective of their dangerous holds on love. The track features the OG veteran Gangsta Boo, Shawnna (previously of DTP) and Queen of the Ring’s own Babs (Previously of P. Diddy’s Making the Band) On the track, each of the femcees lays a hot verse over the same fanatical bass heavy production filled with even more suspense all tied with The Mastermind’s same melodic chorus. The remix will leave you wanting for more and G’s ability to combine great artists especially female rappers in a time where there seems to be so few is truly something epic. Check out what G The Mastermind had to say about the record below:

“I think it’s time for the ladies to shine once again” G The Mastermind states. “I know from working with each of them they got heat coming. Why not have them showcase their talent (collaboratively) on one track.” Though the song doesn’t take you through another enchanting storyline, it’s safe to say that
​these ladies truly “wrote a homicide” and murdered the track. As each of the female rappers revs up for the next part of their journey in the music scene, they all give you a taste of what you loved them for in the first place.” – G The Mastermind
