Dirty Dave (@DirtyDaveDDE) Ft. Yung Rome (@YungRome843) — “Count Up” (Video)
The Carolina Plug is still one of the hardest mixtapes to drop in South Carolina within the past six months. Y'all don't have to agree with me even though I know what I'm talking about but since the project was selling out in record stores in Charleston, clearly the people agree. Watch Dirty Dave's "Count…

L’Daialogue (@LDaialogue) Ft. MIDIMarc (@MidiMarc) — “Friends”
Hey MDIDMarc, if that's really you singing on the hook, I think Suge Knight said it best at The Source Awards in 1995: "To all you artists out there, who don't wanna be on a record label where the executive producer's…all up in the videos, all on the records, dancin' (singing)…then come to Death Row!"…
