The project which is stemmed and housed by Red Bull Music and Tall Racks Records is intended to give exposure to talented aspiring hip hop artists, following a call made to budding African musicians to add their verses on multiple open tracks, which excluded 16 bars, but comprised verses from of Nasty C, Tellaman, Gemini Major, Rowlene, Lastee and Zino D.
