Back in 2008, during one of the earlier summer fling festivals, there was a massive collection of rappers from across canada and the united states converging on saskatoon for rap battles, performances and attending the festival. as a result of some late night drinking on the friday night, a loose plan was created to meet at chapter thrive's house to record a posse cut that saturday afternoon with as many as we could get to come through. Thanks to Chaps' enourmous pull, we got nearly every rapper who was in saskatoon at the time for the festival to slide through and drop 8 bars, one after another over this pristine Ryan Stinson beat! What happened is one of the largest posse cuts spanning at LEAST 4 provinces, and 2 countries! magical times in rapskatoon! perhaps one day this could be repeated!
