CROOKS & CASTLES PRESENTS:: DIZ GIBRAN-SOON YOU’LL UNDERSTAND

My hometown Los Angeles has been hard @ work being fresh makers. From Dert to Flying Lotus to Gaslamp Killer to Blu to J*Davey to Bleu Collar to Pacific Division to etc. etc. etc. L.A. has continued to innovate the scene & the artists doing so are flourished in respecognition. Out of my beautiful metropolis is fellow homie/crew/fam bam/and a bag of chips of Pac Div/Bleu Collar/J*Davey… Diz Gibran! Diz may be familar from the J*Davey posse cut entitled sLAyer (found on NKD:THE WEST COAST EDITION 2008). Since then he & Moonshine have been hard @ work creating a great project entitled Soon You’ll Understand & maybe I will soon understand why they dropped this album for FREE.99!! Cuz I’m saying… yeah I get schitt for free thanks to the semi ghetto blow up of Blind I , but trill spit, if schitt is banging like crip affiliated elephantsâ„¢ , then I make sure to go out & support the artist by having the actual product. Besides… don’t y’all miss reading the liner notes? Am I the only geek in this batch?

Peep Diz spit (and lyrically is the type of schitt we need in the game) on my fave track Once Again
