The song is compromised of two different break beats, bringing forth classic hip-hop nostalgia fitting for one of the game’s most respected DJ’s ever. AG and Sadat X flow effortlessly over the golden age inspired beat and reminisce on Roc Raida and his unparalleled talents. Lines like, “And his name is Roc / International so his name won’t stop, ” and “They thought we had a bandstand and grand slam / Even Japan fans loved his hands” show the love that AG, Sadat X, and fans worldwide have for Roc Raida.
In a recent video all three members spoke about their personal relationship with Roc Raida and how the monumental DJ inspired them. AG had this to say about Roc’s talent, “Roc Raida was our only DJ. And I say only because anytime we went on the road Roc was always our DJ. To see him eventually win the world championship, it’s like damn I know him – my DJ is the best DJ in the world.” Sadat spoke on how, besides all the accolades and respect, Roc was a humble man at the end of the day, “You wouldn’t know he was so nice, he never blew his own horn… He never bragged about himself, just a very humble person, a family man… just a good dude.”
