Illadelph representa and current San Fran resident Dor comes legit wit' it on So Hardcore. This track serves as a sparse yet fittingly funky backdrop to compliment Dor's laid-back flow and cerebral flow that plays matchmaker to his rhymes. Some of the lyrical highlights include: "you claim your gat serves more shots than Sam Malone, got your girl's mouthpiece all up in my bone"…."got more Shyne than Bad Boy, or a jeweler, straight just like a ruler, I get Kareem like Abdula, an old schoola'" and "you your in trouble, I blast all of y'all like Barney in the ruble, rougher than my face stubble, you're a waste like the Hubble, I meant what I said kid there ain't no rebuttal…"

The other half of the Black Lung crew comes with essentially with the same style as the Dor on Wanna See That, yet with his own "gruffier" style. One of the things I like about these brothers is that they know when they've added enough funk and don't fall into the rut of trying to overproduce and clog up tracks with unneeded filler. Manny doesn't attempt to overpower the groove and wisely rides it with an equally flowing syncopation. The hook is catchy yet understated.

Why hasn't anyone signed the Black Lung Brothers yet? Y'all better recognize.
