This time, the band is joined by Krondon and Percee P for a raw, albeit still trippy, version of " Legend in My Own Mind ". They spit their trademark gruff rhymes while Dave the Producer does his thing manipulating the woozy Stepkids cut. You can stream the track below and download it at Stones Throw .

An internship at Stones Throw sounds like a pretty good gig for a young person eager to break into the industry, right?

Even though the track is a few years old by now, it's a little video reminder to revisit Perseverance and stay [...]
