It's always special to find the acapella's to Biggies amazing voice, his groove and flow is like no other rap artists I've heard. Ever since I heard him for the first time I've been in love with his voice and lyrics. I hope I have managed to create a good vibe feeling on this track :) Biggie deserves only the best! This song is for all of you who support my music, you have no idea how much it means to me:)
