“Phife Tribute” plays on some classic Chi-Lites ’70s Soul, as Blastmasta KRS raps some biographical bars about his Queens, New Yorker friend, contemporary, and influence. This is a heartfelt dedication that provides some key facts about Phifer’s life and times, including special praise of his loving wife, who tried to prolong his life with a kidney donation for transplant.
Proceeds from this DJ Static-produced track will reportedly go to Phife Dawg’s family. KRS-One encourages all MCs who want to join to add a 16-bar verse to the track, and help raise money for Malik Taylor’s family.
