We the Best

A high-octane collision of Miami bass, aggressive crunk synths, and every major 2007 rap star. The definitive blueprint for the modern hip-hop posse cut.

June 12, 2007 · Koch Records

An unrelenting blast of high-status confidence and aggressive regional pride.

Moments Worth Listening For

The legendary transition into Lil Wayne's verse on We Takin' Over where the beat seems to bow to his arrival.

T-Pain's soaring, distorted hook on I'm So Hood that defined the sonic aesthetic of 2007 radio.

The sheer density of the Dade County anthem where the local pride becomes a wall of aggressive sound.
