The New School: Day Ten - Jon Phonics

Last up on the New School (and by no means least) is another member of the Den familia Jon "Ill Clinton" Phonics. I first got put onto Jon back in '07 ,he had worked with a buddy of mine English and was up for collabin, after the postman stole the first copy I was hit up with a beat tape (which sounded more like a dope instrumental album) and after a few false starts (1) with joints getting scooped up (2) before I could claim them (3) we eventually managed to lay a track down (4)!! (and hopefully more in the future!!), anyway if you dont know then get to know, but following Louis Den I got no idea how you've slept on the kid! onwards with Luigi's write up/
