These two singles include “The Mask & The Assasin” a vivid tale that lyrically parallels the history that led to the inevitable collaboration between two of hip-hopメs most dominant forces and “El Barrio” the Spanish-language single that is sure to become an anthem for Latino neighborhoods throughout the world.
