Track 2: Tinted Glass
 
Released October 9, 2012

This track has taken on several iterations since 2009, and it ends here, with the original production from JNX enhanced by guitar licks from Marcus Rezak. G teamed JNX & Rezak on Vol. 1’s “Drop It Low,” and once again they create a formidable duo. Rezak’s guitar work is alternatively piercing and rumbling, and Jai Wil’s vocals create an echoing contrast to G’s rhymes.

Kudos as well to engineer Greg “G-Ball” Majors of The Attic, who possesses the wonderful ability to both simplify and enhance a piece of music, a vital skill for streamlining a song that has undergone a long evolution. This is another standard of Young General’s live show, and one of my personal favorites.
