Would like to hear Defari rap. I must be among the few who actually enjoyed his work.

Focus Daily is a banger. still holds up too. Evidence tweeted recently that he is producing an entire album for Defari that is nearly done.

Track is ok/meh. Don't really have any desire to hear it again. Sounds like it could've been made anytime in the last 15 years. I'm sure Wicked already has 3 copies on order and will be buying the CD twice though.

I always thought he was at his best when he did Likwit Junkies. Would like to hear another installment of that.

Always down to hear some new Dilated. I have few criticisms of them but they always deliver and don't stray from what they're about.

It's 2014 and Primo is probably happy to still have a career off music. He's not just sliding them free shit.

dope beat once it kicks in, but the intro was lame. last i heard, like in 2003 or so, Defari said in an interview he was mad at the rap world because Aesop Rock and Atmosphere could sell out venues but he couldn't. seriously.

Jesus, this is awful. Did Primo make this on an SP1200? The bass sounds downsampled to shit.

Nail in the Dilated coffin for me. Yikes.

He had a decent mixtape out last year called "Local like the west of them "
Majority of tracks on it I enjoyed.
