Was almost going to front on this since Fashawn just did an Illmatic cover record, but El ripped this. Nice flip on the original sample too.

LISTEN: Elzhi – “Detroit State Of Mind”
Elzhi – “Detroit State Of Mind”
ItsYaBoyEd says: I don’t usually like people spittin over classic beats but Elzhi held it down. Diggin this track, I think this was from that preview video where the band was playin it live. Really like the instrumentation and Elzhi’s lyrics were on point. Nice hommage to the classic track.
Parisiano says: the instrumentals was really nice.. i was vibin to this in the mornin
McNulty says: Yep, this works. I cant listen to too many remakes of classics cuz it makes me sick of the original. It I hear one more mixtape rapper rhyming over “Fish”…
Elzhi’s sick, he has a spitter’s voice/ flow. Detroit is like the second New York for Hip-Hop
YoHan D, Man says: I have to “grip n’ grab” this single. Tough to flow over a classic but Elzhi seems to make it work. Definitely looking forward to the whole album 5/10/11. We’ll see then So far, so good…
