New York's Beast Coast collective is all set to unleash their debut album Escape From New York tomorrow, having recently dropped off the reggae-inspired single "Snow In The Stadium." Now, on the heels of their mock news special "LSD25," a glimpse at the tracklist and verse breakdown have surfaced, as seen through Apple Music's pre-save feature. For those skeptical of its origin, Kirk Knight added credence to the tracklist by referencing many of the songs on "LSD25," including "Desperado" and the Late Registration-inspired "Last Choir."
