Midwest bred emcee BeN iLLa taps Pittthakid to sample a clip from the an Artifacts classic for the HAKIM-assisted, “Wanna Be Down”. Yes, you heard that correctly. The song opens with a few bars from the nineties hit “Wrong Side Of The Tracks”. Both BeN and HAKIM keep true to the song’s predecessor, kicking nothing but harsh lyricism and proving that Hip Hop isn’t dead, it just went back to the underground. On the single, the pair rummages the instrumental that builds upon the sample and gives it a life all it’s own. If you’ve been searching for an artist that keeps the genre’s legacy alive, check out BeN iLLa and this new tune.
