Album Notes

lurking in the shadows of the dark san diego streets are the rumblings of the most notorious crime boss in town, snaps provolone, and his provolone industries consortium of local 'talent'.
known and feared as "the italian smoke squad" and backed by his loyal squad associates (mikey meathooks, vinny vendetta and rocco the razor), snaps provolone and his powerful syndicate control crime, corruption and committee all while keeping a general peace around the city and continually giving to the poor.

on this particular release, join the i.s.s. while the streets run deep with crime and rival blood as the beats of italian fury battle the elements trying to keep the cartel down.
smooth, jazzy with a tommy gun fury of gangster instrumentals, the italian smoke squad control the old world and the new world with a brilliant dichotomy of old samples and new beats.
