On “Leave the Hood,” Smoke Boys are lucky to have AJ Tracey on hand to deliver a simple yet effective chorus. Together they tackle the issue of authenticity. Tracey and the gang choose “leaving the hood and returning with honor” as their chosen path.

The musically-evolved form that Tracey has ably demonstrated here, puts his newfound songwriting acumen to work. It would seem AJ has surpassed the expectations set before him. No one except his core fans expected him to expand his musical repertoire in such a self-assured manner. Enjoy “Leave the Hood” and the rest of Don’t Panic II.

Quotable Lyrics:

Only stars on my tracks
Tings and cars we don’t lack
Leave the hood and come back
Leave the hood and come back
I did the most with that rack
We been chasing that sack.

-AJ Tracey
