Nine from the Bronx – the gravelly-voiced MC behind "Whutcha Want" and the cult classic "Cloud 9" album from 1996 – links with Queensbridge veteran Big Twins over DJ Crypt production. "NY State Of Grind" captures exactly what the title promises: New York's relentless hustle mentality. Nine's distinctive rasp remains unchanged after decades in the game. Big Twins, whose history with Mobb Deep and The Alchemist runs deep, brings Queensbridge authority to the collaboration. DJ Crypt provides the foundation – this is borough-to-borough unity over boom bap beats.
