Emcee / Producer Psych Major returns with a new single this morning. “Watch Your Six” (military slang for ‘watch your back’) features another collaboration with the legend, Sadat X (the third collaborative track between the two to drop this year). Speaking on the track Psych said “it’s a story-telling joint. I based my verse on a character similar to the former Police Chief who tried to bury the initial Gilgo Beach investigation because he was afraid the feds would uncover his own corruption
