"Mystic River" is a Kurupt and DJ Battlecat song that surfaced almost 20 years ago, and today, it received an official release.

Kurupt, DJ Battlecat, and Snoop Dogg dropped off "Me N The Boyz" on Friday last week. This Friday, Kurupt and Battlecat are back, this time with "Mystic River." This is actually a song that first surfaced back in 2007. However, it never got the official release fans were hoping for. Well, that all changed today as the song officially got a release, as well as a music video. The production on this song will take you to another plane of existence. Meanwhile, Kurupt's rapping is crisp on the track, as it always is. It's a great trip down memory lane, and we hope to hear more from Kurupt and DJ Battlecat soon.

Quotable Lyrics from Mystic River

Come and flow with me down mystic river
I’m like moonshine, I shift your liver
This a Kodak moment, life is pictured
The frame is the world that surrounds the picture
