Long before the Loud Records deal, Big Pun was about the hard-nosed deliveries, the Horror imagery, and the grimy accounts of a life on the edge. Fifteen years to the day after Pun’s tragic death, his son, Chris Rivers, carries on tradition.

“War Room,” with The LOX’s Styles P and Jedi Mind Tricks’ Vinnie Paz, is an audio punch-to-the-face, complemented by a black-and-white, weapon-wielding video finding all three MCs in the kind of element that would sound great to Pun, along with his Full-A-Clips cohorts, Triple Seis, and Cuban Link.

After acclaimed mixtapes (like the Wonderland Of Misery 2 this cut comes from) and commanding videos, is 2015 the year that Chris Rivers will dazzle with a studio album?
