Both hailing from NYC, Dave East and R.F.C. member Al-Doe are two of the city's most underrated spitters, and they both bring their considerable talents to a new joint called "I Used To."

The production, handled by Sonaro, features tinkling piano, metallic electric guitar and an unhurried beat. Both Dave and Al flip on the auto-tune switch for portions of this song, but don't let that fool you-- this is still hard-edged NY street rap to the core. After Al gives us a dope mid-song verse, Dave East rides the song out majestically. Let us know what you think of this one.

Quotable Lyrics

We was sellin' big 'caine
360, look how this shit changed
Funny seemed like yesterday
We were hoppin' the 6 train
