Mr Lif - Because They Made It That Way

Jeffrey Haynes, aka Mr. Lif is an underground hip hop monster. His first solo LP I Phantom and his second EP Emergency Rations are two of my favorite underground hip hop albums from the new millennium era. This track is off an unreleased and virtually impossible to find album of his called Sleepyheads. He is not well known because he is independent but when you hear him you don't forget him. His emcee skills cut like a knife through butter and his lyrics are packed full of sharp, conscious rhymes. Too bad the choir is most of who listens to this preacher, but at least they are listening.
