T.I. x Lil Wayne x Kanye West x Jay-z - Swagger Like Us (S.L.U)

The gods of bravado have smiled upon us. Undoubtedly some of the most steezy MCs to pick up a mic T.I., Lil Wayne, Kanye West & Jay-z have all joined forces to rhyme on one track. The song has a M.I.A sample on the chorus and the result is epic. Now let the talk begin [...]
