Spitta has been blessing us with tracks like “Audio Dope,” “Breakfast (In & Out)” and “Famous” lately but what really kept us afloat for most of the year was the album. Did you forget what it sounded like when he dropped the preview for the This Ain’t No Mixtape Preview video? I didn’t.”Im About To Take A Sebatical Dog And Let These Late Bloomers Get To Hear The Spitta Catalogue.” - Curren$y (The Explanation)
Where haven’t we been yet? I think Spitta said Brazil.
