H.O.P.E. - SINCERE: THE NAS TAPE (MIXTAPE DOWNLOAD

Everyone has been waiting on an actual release date for this project but HOPE has had the fans at his mercy by not giving one.  After a few leaks and a freestyle with Skeme over a Kanye beat folks have been anxiously waiting to see if this tape would drop...well it's here.  All Nas beats with features from Diz Gibran, CurT@!N$, Chase N Cashe and Kent Jamz and presented by the L.A. Leakers; H.O.P.E. says this all about getting to the rapping.  Enjoy.  Shouts to Fresh 2 Def and LA's Finest.  Oh yeah and shouts to me for the artwork, haha.
