Ysimonis – Regular N*gg#

Ysimonis – Regular N*gg# – Album Review It hasn’t been since Snoop released Doggystyle that I’ve heard an album warrant the tag of explicit lyrics like this! Ysimonis has got plenty to say on his new album Regular N*gg# and he is certainly unafraid of using his extended vocabulary to get the job done right. The result […]Read More
