DON’T SLEEP: Will C. x The Beach Boys “Adieu Or Die” [NEW PROJECT]

I saw the homie 7L of local legendary group 7L & Esoteric tweet that Boston producer Will C. dropped a new project. I’m like “I didn’t hear SHIT about this dropping on Brick Records.

THEN I saw that “Adieu Or Die” was FREE (because you can’t clear these samples!). I was like “BET!”. When you download “Adieu Or Die”, it comes complete with artwork, a pdf book of liner notes, artwork AND bonus tracks. This is incredible, B. Don’t sleep on it. DON’T…
