Steve Ramos comes consistent on every record. We know only because he is embodied in Defam, and if you are unfamiliar it is our job to get you familiar.
M.T.L.E.T. which stands for Music To Leave Earth To is the upcoming debut mixtape from Mr. Ramos, which has heavy production from Decap, J-Chop and a few other heavy hitters. From original joints to selective remixes, the tape will showcase a new horizon of hip hop that will shed consciousness of inspiration.
You can download one of the tracks, appropriately titled 'On My Fizz' by clicking the picture at the top.
