New music from Diaz and Phizzix.

Diaz is back with a new joint featuring his main production partner and Co-owner of MOVE Records, Phizzix. While most rappers boast about their luxurious cars, Diaz and Phizzix flip it on this track and spit about the infamous 90’s ride, the Chevy Cavalier Z24. Although the content might be on the humourous side, they maintain a serious attitude in their rhymes and production. Phizzix provides a rugged boombap soundscape that’s a nice match to the subject matter of the song.
