2009 was a breakout year for some of the most revered artists in the game. Curren$y, Ace Hood, and Wale are among the most notable names to emerge from that class of XXL Freshman but there were a few underground names that are still delivering some heat. Mickey Factz and Blu are among those who've remained fixtures in the underground rap scene over the past decade. Now, they're joining forces alongside producer Nottz to deliver a brand new collaborative effort.

With the project expected to drop later this summer, Blu, Nottz, and Mickey Factz gave a taste of what to expect with "Stay Down." Iman Omari handles hook duties on this record while Mickey and Blu take a trip down memory lane over Nottz's soulful production.

Quotable Lyrics
Girls said I looked like Urkel with the thicker frames
Misbehaved, I was living in a different phase
Literally from the vicinity of Pun
Got insufficient funds 'cause they giving me the crumbs
