This is the second single from Cube’s upcoming album, “Man Down,” which is set to be released on November 2024.

This highly anticipated album promises to be a landmark release, featuring 15 tracks that explore themes of legacy, power, and cultural evolution. With this track setting the tone, “Man Down” is poised to solidify Cube’s status as one of hip-hop’s most influential and enduring artists.

Quotable Lyrics:

My hero was a Ni**a With an Attitude, leader of a Lench Mob
Bought me a ‘6-4 just to watch it Crip hop
Told the teacher, “I’ma grow up, make hardcore hip-hop”
And b*tch, I did it, big bank made big knots
Little ni**a ’bout his bankroll, f**k stank h*es
Three days straight, I was trappin’ in the same clothes
F**k gold, ni**a rather pay for the studio
