My friend John and I were killing time until we left for a party and I remember feeling enthusiastic and intoxicated on a cocktail of whatever we had laying around the house. I think we were talking about the new Lil Wayne album when he mentioned he was in a rap group in D.C. That was a fairly bold statement considering he made it behind several empty beer bottles in a smokey room in Berkeley. But the group, Math Panda, had recorded an album and it was online and he played it for me and whoa, he could rap. Like, he could actually rap. He was creative and confident and aware of the beat, not necessarily riding the downbeats but visiting them whenever necessary. Oh, and the group was big in D.C.

John is the second M.C. on the track, coming in around the 1:06 mark. It's kind of fucking incredible.
