Stik and fellow Topeka spitters Adullessence and Mike Schpitz dropped a taste of their collaborative trio on this flow fest over Angie Stone’s “Do What You Gotta Do” instrumental. The soulful roots of the beat pave the way for a playground of sly tongue gymnastics and interwoven vocal harmonies before they match their signature cadences to the funky guitar accents in the background. Pile the clever wordplay each member of the trio brings on their verse on top of the catchy smoker’s hook, and you have a late summer anthem that bodes well for the rumored fall release of The O’s project. If you haven’t been paying attention, these Kansas representatives deserve some of your spins in and out of this outfit.
