“I consider myself the Pope of coke talk. So the title, Keys of Heaven, refers to Saint Peter. Jesus gave Saint Peter the first key into heaven making him the first pope. I’m the best at the high end drug shit so it’s only right.” – @aldoebbm
Featured on the track is Smoke DZA, the Harlem native has already released 3 solo studio albums, and is determined to lead his R.F.C. confidants to the promised land. Starting his career through the battle rap circuit, DZA is known for his lyrics and penmanship. His most recent album, Dream.Zone.Achieve. is a heralded as is best work yet and have both fans and critics both are raving that he is the best thing to happen to the Manhattan island since the notorious Dipset music group.
Combined the duo are two-fifths of the newly formed group R.F.C. (Ralphie’s Forgotten Children, Really Fucking Cool, Raw Flipping Commission), who recently released a critically acclaimed album, The Outsiders. The body of work includes Styles P, A$AP Rocky, DOM Kennedy, Damon Dash and Cam’ron as guest appearances.
Having blessed us with the smooth and jazzy vibes of the “Truffle Butter” track, Doe takes a break from his aggressive modulation and shares a cooler side of himself. DZA doesn’t disappoint either; he addresses hustlers, R&B singers, the fashion crowd and his competition all in one wicked verse. You can tell the two have great chemistry from their infatuation with women and their affinity for Polo Ralph Lauren. The freestyle is a good balance of energy and blasé gloating courtesy of the the Uptown duo.
