Hittin harder than Ted Williams in his heyday, Big Dese & Mike Martinez return. New single "Word To Mick" is another dose of grown man rap for the boom bap set.

Putting out numerous dope projects and getting very little traction in the game, on top of dealing with aggravation of everyday life, it's like the song says, I get no satisfaction" .
