Chris Rivers comes through with "Now Or Never" for this week's Barz Day Wednesday.

Chris Rivers keeps it coming every week with his Barz Day Wednesday series. Over the course of the year, Chris Rivers has blessed us with new tracks on a weekly basis. The majority of the tracks have been freestyles over some popular beats in hip hop history. He's flowed over everything from Drake's "I'm Upset" to Outkast's "SpottieottieDopalocious." With each freestyle, Rivers proves exactly how strong of an emcee he is. This week, the rapper takes on an Isaiah Rashad record for his track, "Now Or Never."

Chris Rivers returns with a freestyle over Isaiah Rashad's "Shot You Down" for his new track, "Now Or Never." The rapper's latest track is another introspective record where Rives speaks on the obstacles he's had to overcome to get where he is.

With the list amount of freestyles he's put out, we're hoping this leads to a full length project before the end of the year.

Quotable Lyrics
The floorboards, the foor walls to dining halls
Ceilings that's designed to fall
You don't even know your place
Minus one like five is four
