A few weeks a go, Payroll Giovanni and Cardo revealed they penned a deal with Def Jam Records. It's a massive move for the two artists who've been working relentlessly for the past several years. It comes at a good time, the two artists are gearing up to release their follow up to 2016's Big Bossin' Vol. 1 in the coming weeks. Today, they let loose a new cut off the project with E-40 titled "Mail Long."
Payroll Giovanni and Cardo come through with E-40 for their new single "Mail Long." Both rapper and producer are from the mid-west but on "Mail Long," they make their way over to the west coast. From Cardo's production to Payroll's flow, the song slides closer to the realm of E-40 than what we're typically used to from their previous work. Nonetheless, it's a hard track.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Payroll Giovanni and Cardo's Big Bossin Vol. 2 dropping on January 26th.
Quotable Lyrics
Real shit, thought it wasn't?
Detroit and the Bay is cousins
Out here, where we stay, they hustlin'
The block and the Digibeam, they huggin'
