Beat Oven by 3strykes x Surrilla

Los Angeles-based 3strykes x Surrilla get together for a visual feast in “Beat Oven.” These guys cooked up a dope music video. 3strykes takes the first 3 verses, while Surrilla anchors the joint. This track is fresh out of that “Beat Oven.” It’s a fun song to listen to (with Beethoven’s Flight of the Bumblebee sampled) and watch.

The song is a remix of Kanye West’s “Runaway.” On the track, IZ takes you through his time in the music industry with 454 Life Entertainment and life behind bars. The video starts with an dark and isolated environment, but quickly turns and gives you a view of who he hangs with like Ben Baller, Far East Movement, 454, and more. Here’s IZ on the track:

“This is my special tribute to the amazing things weve accomplished and to the unwavering support of the gathering community which makes dreams come true. We are witnessing history!

This i my special tribute to artists I respect and love who have always shown love back over the years. The kind of love that inspires movements and makes the impossible possible. Look at us now!

Seeing u do the things u do fills me strength. It makes me proud to be an Asian American. I love you bruthas and sistas… Lets show the world what theyve never seen: Asians coming together and showing the world what we’re capable of.”

He’s turning his life around never fallin’ and paper chasin’. Cop that mixtape for FREE here. The album features Far East Movement, Michelle Martinez, J.Reyez, Lil Crazed, Tommy C, and more.

Lyrics to Run Together by IZ

when i first started, all i seen was a lotta doubt
until i showed the scene, what a real koreans all about
6 series beamer leanin when im pullin out
model sittin shotty, lookin hot up in a prada blouse
true religion jeans saggin, ASS fallin out
steakhouse guinness stout this must be what lifes about
pull up to the club, all ma dawgs callin out
IZ come and take a shot, all my bottles on da house
but i pay the bill anyway
cuz for now i really got it u can get me on a rainy day
bitches used to runaway
now they call me after work im goin home, IZ u should come and stay
but i dont feel no bitterness
cuz bitterness is for bitches, gangstas we live in bliss
enjoyin life on my sofa yeah im gettin it
u can tell the difference in this leather when u sit in it
get one for urself, sure u wont regret it
actually ma n*gga heres an early christmas present
we were down, way befo the fame and paper
no need for thanks, thanks is what u say to strangers
me u is way passed that,
attempted murder cases yeah we laugh when we glance back
i was facin 2, one that we did together
u took the wrap for one so id get a lighter sentence
repented sins for the next couple of
years but the struggle taught us how to make our money double
no regrettin it wise men are set in a
way to take the pain and work it to their benefit
a lil time in the hole when ur spirits weakest
can somehow take a man and turn him into a rap genius
but the world wasnt ready then
neither was my city and it seemed each and every friend
doubted i could do it even still i wouldnt let it
hurt me though i swear they had a smirk when they said it
but those people are gone now, the weathers calm now
vacheron, patek, lexes on the arm now
my mamas face, luv it how she looks
cuz for once she can look at her son, not as a crook
so here we are, new cars, life changed
but theres a long way to go to get to where were aimin
G6, u say u luv it when they play it
but i recall u saying FM would never make it
to bring up past hatred’s not my intention
the past is gone, future wrong, nows the gift so we say present
yeah, so lets live in the moment
while holdin on to the good times memories are golden
this one time kev swooped me up in his whip
and i threw up in his car guess it proved i was sick, hey!
remember that im sure u do
cuz for couple weeks it smelled like curry house and henny too
… huh the day u introduced me to the futuredood
next week aznraps, front page interview
shout outs to angryasian phil, koreanbeacon
koream all kpop though i was never featured
im sure ill live to see it, think it and u can be it
jaesonma send me a prayer homie i really need it
J and crazed, AJ, and tommy C
ma n*gga rook, yo its on when they set u free
meesh and traphik, just kidding and clara c
todd the t-pain joints what i wanna c
luv to vu on my bday he came singin
everyone forgot i was even there it had me heated
shouts to 4c, no one told me
that id be teachin lil girls to rap in OC
huh lifes a trip, whod have ever thought,
that wed get here this quick
much thanks to Ben Baller holdin me down
454 yo our time is now!
