So we're thoroughly anticipating the release of the new Spoke in Wordz collaboration, Power of Wordz, (slated for release on Friday, January 21, at Casselman's).

Witness the first leaked track above, "No Hold Barz," featuring Spoke, Nation, WhyGee and DJ Chonz. Nation kicks things off with notable flow and then passes the torch to Spoke and Whygee, who proceed to burn the whole joint down with fiery lines like "Rap is overrated/It's saturated with douchebags/Lyrics is useless/Ask them who produced that," spit by the latter, emphasizing the power of words.
