DJ Mark the 45 King was a DJ in New Jersey in the mid ‘80’s. You know him as the guy behind the beat for Jay-Z’sHard Knock Life,” or Eminem’sStan.”

But, long before all of that, R.A was abusing 45 King’s beats with off the top rhymes.

Fuck a backeat freestyle, R.A has brought us back into the 80’s with this first verse, basement style.

Also, a basement is underground, literally, where as R.A is underground in hip hop, a term used to rappers who haven’t achieved mass popularity. So in a backhanded way, R.A is claiming he’s still the same as he was when he was younger and he still hasn’t sold out.
