XXL made a few controversial selections for this year's freshman cover; Dave East and G Herbo were not among them. Possibly around the time they participated in the cover shoot (in the cover art they wear their freshly minted varsity jackets) they recorded a new song together called "Do It For."
Who do East and Herbo do it for? The answer is multifaceted. They trade cautionary street tales throughout the icy Black Metaphor-produced track. That which does not kill you makes you stronger.
Hopefully this marks the beginning of of a fruitful partnership between East and Herbo.
Quotable Lyrics
They looking for the coke, for the pills, for the molly, for the weed, for the lean
We do it for the set, for the turf, for the block, got a glock with the bean
They took it to far, really tryna take it far, but it's not what it seems
I ain't have a dollar in my pocket, now I count it every night I go to sleep
-East
