Ghostface Killah And AZ Go Hard On “Double Cross”
November 20th, 2014 Tyler Hanan The latest off Ghostface Killah’s “superhero-revenge concept album” is, as the kids say, straight fire. “The Battlefield” was cool and all, but “Double Cross” is a two-minute, take-no-prisoners throw down about a man wronged by fake friends.
