One celebrates the night, while the other celebrates gangsterism as Top Shelf, Kool G Rap, Freeway & Lil' Fame connect. "Night People" by Top Shelf is one of the best songs about stepping out after work that you're bound to hear. The heightened emotion of Top Shelf's vocal part on the chorus would eventually become the basis of Kool G Rap's "Wise Guys". The Kool Genius Of Rap brings the drama once again as he bangs out with Philly Freezer and Fame of M.O.P. These 3 major players gettin paper by the layers are no joke, like the oath of Costra Nostra. Another outstanding reminder of how congruent Hip Hop and Soul music are, demonstrated by the production of MoSS.
