Young Roddy and Conway team up for an emotional ode to the struggle on "Out The Hood."

Young Roddy has maintained a strong output this year. Singles like "After Hours" ft. Curren$y and Smoke DZA are still on steady rotation, as Roddy keeps his foot on the gas following the release of God Family Money earlier this year. The rapper's penmanship and unique flows made him a standout on the Jet Life roster.

This week, Roddy returned with some new heat for his fans in the form of a new collaboration with Conway The Machine. The two rappers link up on "Out The Hood," an emotional ode to the struggle. Produced by Camouflage Monk, their descriptive pens detail their come up from the streets as kids to adults, and the family members and friends they've lost on the way.

Quotable Lyrics
You know, this music comes first, that's just the way I work
Had every obstacle against me but I made it work
In the basement, plate and razor, digiscale, I'm weighin' work
Sold my neighbors work, sold Tom an eighth for 100 on his way to work
Know a n***a that killed his cousin for snitchin', he saw the paperwork
Still huggin' on his momma when she pray in church
