Watch This: STS Going "In For The Kill" on Demand More 2



G.O.L.D!! The homie STS is penning bars as we speak to finish up the third installation of his rally cry mixtape series, Demand More 2. A lot of new artists are referred to as a "breath of fresh air" but believe me if you inhale what this kid is smoking you'll never want "fresh air" again. Keep a look out for DM2 droppin in early March.
