If you haven’t purchased “LI(F)E” yet, you probably should. One of the best things that has ever come from Sage.

LAW

If you’ve been trying to grab this, we apologize for the server slowdowns. Imagine several-hundred thousand people around the world trying to squeeze into a Mini Cooper blasting Atmosphere songs with PBR bottles scattered on the floor and the smell of weed smoke leaking from the car. Something like that. Don’t smoke/drink and drive. We spent a good amount of time well past midnight getting this ready to blast to everyone, with test downloads in multiple locales – what up Milwaukee!

Grab the album here, read the instructions from Slug – and enjoy.

Anyway. Free rap my people. Slug and Ant love the fans, so they decided to throw this 7 track wonder at y’all. Also, this is the official launch of the Fifth Element Online DIGITAL STORE. Bam!

Again – WARNING. SERVERS MIGHT BE VERY SLOW. NO, I CANNOT FIX THEM.

To help eradicate the server pileups, we uploaded the jam on zShare (something ironically that I spend a few hours every week trying to curb) …Grab that link here.

Now go tell your other favorite rappers to step their f*cking games up.
