Like every member of The L.O.X., as well as Fabolous, Tony Yayo's been spending the past month dropping freestyles over classic NY joints. Mostly, these have come over well-known classics by legends like Eric B. & Rakim, Raekwon and Big L, but Yayo's also been doing a good job of turning younger listeners onto more forgotten records. In the past, he's given shine to Main Source, Channel Live, and Half A Mil, and today he pays tribute to an oft-overlooked supergroup: The Gravediggaz. 

Going in over Prince Paul and RZA's production on "Diary Of A Madman," Yayo breathes new life into the noirish beat. Let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

Disrespect and you a goner
Desert eagle hawk shoot like Kyle Korver
Wave my finger at the two minute mark
Like a NBA play review
