There was once that time when Shannon Sharpe threw shots at Buffalo's rap scene only to be faced with immediate backlash from the Griselda crew.

Che' Noir and Apollo Brown have been slowly rolling out the release of their new project As God Intended that arrived this week in its 14-track entirety. With features from Black Thought, Planet Asia, Skyzoo, and more, Apollo Brown provides a perfect canvas with grimy samples for Che' Noir's sharp wordplay and sincere storytelling
Check out As God Intended below.
