M|O|D III by M|O|D A compilaion of simple, hyped instrumentals coming from the M | O | D crew’s latest collection of tracks, M | O | D III. These guys take hints from footwork, trap rap, and chopped & screwed production, pulling all these styles together into a

Danny Brown seems to be popping up everywhere lately. His output has been consistently strong, this song included. Backed by a beat that would sound right at home on Heems’ Nehru Jackets, Brown and Schoolboy Q lay verses about their favourite pastimes. It’s a fun song, and will fill
