Wasiu – Gros Lysick

Listen to Wasiu’s newest offering “Gros Lysick.”

Montreal native, Wasiu, has been heavy on our radar these past few weeks, releasing some impressive tracks like “BLKKKOut” & “Stereo Type”. Today, the rising emcee decides to keep his streak alive, and return with a tribute the late Notorious B.I.G., who passed 18 years ago on Monday.

“Gros” is the french word for “big,” and toward the end of the track Wasiu raps “rest in peace to the ruler of the east,” flipping a rendition of the “Big Poppa” chorus, while the beat intertwines elements of the song’s original sample source, the Isley Brothers’ “In Between the Sheets.”
