The Hit N Run intro jam... Getting Started, recorded in the Hit N Run home studio eons ago and sampling an introduction and crowd scream as Hit N Run took to the stage one by one spitting this track at one of the best shows they did.  Rogue's hard edge gritty production on the work... All these years later the end of the track "the business end of ----- can turn your friends against you" is still missing the Hit N Run sample we had chopped from Snoop's verse on Bitch Please 2 is still missing and the sample at the end from Dr Dre never fit well and was ultimately cut in the master copy of this song(with the snoop sample) which is hiding on a storage drive somewhere, so once it is unearthed this lower quality copy will be replaced... till then enjoy!

Vocals - Rogue, Low Lux, Kasper, Escrow(known at the time as Maddpsyense)
