They say: "Cash Bliz's sound is lyrical, fresh, the actual meaning of dope."
We say: Cash Bilz, Troo, and Soul deliver the same attention to lyrics and beat on "Bullsh!t" as Cash Bilz did on "Peace of Mind." His musical influences are clear but he is commited to paving his own way. To the song's point, that's what happens "when hip hop's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle."
