"AWAR’s lead single from his upcoming album, Spoils of War. The track is titled “Bricks Like ’86” and features 2/3 of The Lox, Styles P. and Jadakiss. It will be available on a coke white 7” and have a non-album cut titled “87 Getback” on the B-side. Both joints are produced by the in-demand beat monster Vanderslice (who AWAR also has a duo with). It should be obvious from the titles, these companion tracks are a throwback to the Coke era, when the rise of crack first made millionaires out of street hustlers."
