Yelawolf & Royce Da 5'9" trade bars over a badass DJ Premier instrumental.

"W.O.W." marks the return of Catfish Billy and that alone is worth celebrating. While Yelawolf has recently embraced his Southern Gothic roots on drops like Trial By Fire and Love Story, his contribution to PRhyme's anticipated sequel is a stark reminder of what he's capable of. After all, few can go toe to toe with Royce Da 5'9" without being utterly outclassed. Yet Yela's vivid opener may very well steal the show. If you smokin' marijuana with your mama at 12, then we either related or relayed it in jail," he raps. "Street thangs, stealin' Honda's for them Asian gangs, hopefully Yao Ming's little sister would give me brains."

That's not to say Royce doesn't murder the gritty Premier instrumental. That's to be expected. I go bananas, too miraculous to react to mortal mammals, cookin' crack in my new velour pajamas," raps Royce, exhibiting a natural aptitude for blending imagination and wordplay. Throw in one of Primo's darker contributions and you've got a PRhyme 2 banger. 

Quotable Lyrics

Hop off my Harley Davidson lookin' like I just got hit with a cool stick
Cherry red boots, cigarette lit and aggravated
How come it's to this dirt road, moonshine trailer trash trooper
Everyday's a party happy belated
If you smokin' marijuana with your mama at 12
Then we either related or related in jail
Street thangs, stealin' Honda's for them Asian gangs
Hopefully Yao Ming's little sister would give me brains
