01 Mickey Factz X Nottz - Some People Feat. Showtyme

This spicy, island flavored track (produced by The Kartel) takes you on a lyrical journey unlike any heard before.  Chem displays skills while riding the beat like a seasoned vet, attacking the track like he's revenging his brother's death.
The song starts with a question that attempts to prepare you for what's in store, "You ready to run with the bulls?" Sure enough, the beat starts rapid firing and you feel like your being chased through the streets of Pamplona! 
Lyrically strong from beginning to the end, it's evident Chem spends time perfecting song structure and his technique.
