Another forgotten little nugget of that real hip-hop shit from the Juggaknots from NYC. Really simple but oh so effective beat from producer Breeze Brewin off the Use Your Confusion (2006) record. And hmmm, well the title refers to the genius Lady’s Man – Leon Phelps from very underrated SNL dude …
