Limited Edition CD (plus cool bonus card, WHAT!?!?!)
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Birthed from the mind of The Sneaker Savant and brought to visual life by the skills of Sons of Black Maria, behold "The Sonny Vaccaro Years" CD. Each disc will contain a random bonus card from The Sneaker Savant's batch of magical amazingness placed in its own protective sleeve. There will not be blood, but there will be high end basketball sneaker cardage accompanying your CD. Card allotment is random, so I cannot promise what you'll get beyond...SOMETHING DOPE. The Wallet Lite packaging gently cradles your precious rap musics without churning through so much of that dead dinosaur goop.
Includes unlimited streaming of The Sonny Vaccaro Years
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Stephon Marbury, the misunderstood legend of Coney Island, in song form.
lyrics
They tried to bury the star, the Starbury is here
I gave my all to this game, staying very sincere
Who blazed the path to China, I became a God
Had to visit another world so I could break facades
The last of a dying breed, a city legend
Coney Island’s finest, forever kid be repping
Rucker in ‘96 with Al Cash and Bubbachuck
People climbing the fences just to get a glimpse at us
been a minute since it was, just a game no tinsel dust
Go ahead and mumble words if mince you must
In some cuffs? Nah, I got the game for life
On my coattails the other prodigies, they’ve arrived
Paid the piper, they try to beat me down with the flute
Foxy Brown video, I’m the one found in the suit
People not up on game saying Who’s he?
4am turning the Porsche into a hooptie
Slam Magazine? Man I built that
How many covers over the years? An ill stack
Should’ve been me on the front cover with the basketball
No jellybean prima donna, tough is the task involved
I settled for a towel on my shoulders, rocking a mean mug
Coney Island to the death, I’m repping the beast tough
Who Got Game? My life story, told by Spike Lee
I’m just here to fulfill a prophecy, don’t mind me
I’m that walking target, the one they pick apart
Meanwhile, the lights dim and still I finish hard
The scapegoat in a pair of And 1 sneakers
Maybe I should’ve signed with Nike or adidas
They would’ve had a PR machine to speak on my behalf
All star game I’m draining threes, rewind it back
Wolves to Suns to Nets to Knicks to Celtics overseas
My resume speaks for itself, just take the time to read
And try to see…

Shout out to one of the most well-informed cultural historians out there, rbsellingstuff who provided me great insight into the significance of Stephon Marbury.
Sankofa on the raps, Supermuch on the dope production.
Started following Juga-Naut upon hearing him break down life and rap relating to Kool G Rap on Crate808 and I've been a fan since. Wordplay, skill, the dope backdrops, what's not to love? Sankofa
