There's a Horse in the Hospital

Fresh beats: Winter Symphony (If you know the movie, we'll give you a sticker.)

And to close, some wise words from K. Keith:

If you just got off the plane from 42nd Street with crazy people yelling at you, and bums on the streets, and piss-filled elevators, and people upset, and traffic, and all that mess, your style isn't gonna mesh with a producer who's from a sunny meadow. Some of these producers' beats won't match what your vibe is, because they made the beats in their beautiful backyard, with a horse in their garden and poodles running around, and they can't have the same feelings as a rapper from a different part of the country. I don't want to rap over a fluffy beat from a producer who just picked flowers from his garden.
