I was personally given this mixtape by DJ MoneySwing (WKYS) on my birthday early friday morning. I was moving around so much this weekend, that I didn’t get a chance to listen to the entire CD until today. Swing’ you were right. This CD is yet another example of a new artist going back to just rapping. Bear Witnez will turn a lot of heads with this mixtape as it spreads from the DMV to the rest of the country. Follow @BearWitnez and @moneyswing and join that “Bear Season” movement!
