Whodini's "Friends" is one of those classic hip-hop records that's still inspiring emcees 30 years removed from when it was released. The latest rapper to spread the track's timeless message is Philly's Michael Shaye. Addressing the friends who smile to your face but wouldn't hesitate to throw you to the snakes for personal gain, Shaye displays some impressive wordplay and even better flows. Expect to see more from him on these pages in the near future.
"Friends" is set to be featured featured on Michael Shaye's forthcoming project Lyrics of a Lost Mind, which is set to drop January 20th. Stay tuned as we continue to cover the rollout.
