Cover Me Boog Fam

 So, we decided to put a top ten list together of hip hop songs that we would like to cover. The list was a compilation of Hip Hop songs that have influenced us over the past 25 years. It's very difficult to put a top ten list together, for so many reasons. We based our top ten list on, song we would love to preform. Please feel free to let us know what hip hop songs you would like us to cover.

 1) Ice Cube: Today Was a Good Day
