PAID IN FULL
Reality Rap Realness From Two Original Hempstead Hustlers.
Known to many under the moniker The Winners, Hus Kingpin and Smoovth together are even greater than the sum of their parts. PAID IN FULL showcases the dynamic dope duo at their best, lyrically they’re half RUN-DMC half Rich & Azie.
As always WAVO’s mastery of choosing the right beats pays off — Kingpin affiliate MACAPELLA provides a mother-of-pearl, uncut soundscape with additional heat from beatsmiths Giallo Point, DJ Phantom, Sean Wrekless, Wun Two and Stinky J.
While Smoovth & Hus are clearly the stars of this documentary on wax, they generously make room for guest stars M.A.V., Sage Infinite, P.U.R.E. to leave their mark on Paid in Full. But the real star is vocalist YoungOldSoul who laces Get Money with melodics indicative of her name — a modernized yet vintage, more soulful version of the original Get Money.
