Song URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyrrPiNI3GI Quick background on the project: I'm a full time programmer and I love making rap music. I see a lot of humor in the profession/industry, and thought it would be fun to combine the two. I'm always open to feedback on audio quality/topic ideas/ways to get more exposure/etc!
