Guilty Simpson x Apollo Brown x Torae – Potatoes

Artwork aside this is a great post! Ever since Torae & Guilty got together on “Stomp” from 2009’s “Double Barrel the people (present company included) have been thirsty for more. Well with Guilty & Apollo Brown’s “Dice Game” the thirst is quenched. Potatoes is a hard hitting banger from Guilt & Brown that features Torae doing what he does best, beasting. Be sure to check the jam & cop that “Dice Game” HERE.

Torae – Off The Record: The EP

“I worked very hard on For The Record and recorded a lot of tracks with different producers. Some songs didn’t make the album, not because they were wack, but because I didn’t want to over saturate the project & storyline. Off The Record is something for true Torae fans. Songs that deserve to be heard. Think of it as The For The Record, Lost Tapes.” says Torae.

Off The Record will be released digitally via iTunes and other online retailers on Tuesday, August 28 2012.
