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.
If you ask Vernon Maxwell, there is a side of this amazing man who was once not so humble. Imagine ending up on the highlight reel of someone steadily schooling you in Payless sneakers.
lyrics
I remember the first time i wore shoes that fit me
Couldn’t stop jumping best assume the gym’s deep
serving dream shakes, giving Admirals brain freeze
you downing MVPs? Yeah you know 'keem
now open up and say ah when I'm killing your team
It’s all about the fulfillment of dreams
when I started off, they dropped the H from my name
Confused announcers and defenders, ways of the game
Facing the same walls that others had, I run it back
Cat quick with the skills, watch them stumble slack
Otis Thorpe by my side, Mad Max with the ball
He’s too busy rolling dice, set to shatter them all
Learned to hide the fire of my younger days, some amazed
Blocked shot records in the Finals, summer days
When I come and play they run away at stunning rates
Bank shot but none are safe, combo moves to punish fakes
In the offseason, catch me teaching some moves
Fundamentals of amazing but true, playing the groove
Not that quotable, my game it makes the statement so true
So humble that I went with Spalding making my shoe
34 on the side, but not Chuck with a flat
That’s Barkley on the shoulder if you’re getting the rap
From Phi Slamma Jamma up to Chuck and Glide
Hold it down for H-Town without a puff of pride, what a life
Then again, the fire burns within don’t test
Or I’ll have you so stressed with a dope flex
getting served by a guy rocking Payless kicks
You’ll see it on the highlights and really hate that bit
And ain’t that slick? No need to pay a hundred or more
So consider a pair of mine when you run to the store
Plus I play D, I’m not simply coming to score
You’ll feel my presence like that shadow creeping under your door

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
