      • 2016 June 28, “Hazards”, Loski (lyrics), performed by Loski:
        I still make man panic, true I'm way to wassy
        Before I smoke, I used to step with bassy
        (…)
        And back then my dip dip was large
        Why you think it’s bassy I called it, why you think it’s bassy I called it
        And what's all the gossip
        I got Madeleine and Jackson 5 in the trap house you know that I chop it
