While the latest single from Diddy and his Dirty Money cohorts was a certified scorcher, I think it's safe to say that there was room for a little extra on-point lyricism. Thus, DMV phenom Marky spends leak numero uno off his DJBooth.net/Kevin Nottingham-cohosted Journey to Markyland, USA: Rest Stop 2 EP lacing Danja's synth-drenched instrumental with all the braggadocio-laden game-spitting fans could ask for.
