about
"La Da Da" is a record that speaks confidence. Detroit MC, Nametag delivers a double-time cadence, with a hook that is slowed down, giving everybody a chance to catch up. Flint, MI producer, Nameless [For Namesake, The Gift Vol.1, Fab Five] illustrated the cover art as well as the production. The whole track makes you feel like something dangerous COULD happen. It has that edge.
