New Music: Hi Stakez - Make It Right

I was first introduced to Hi Stakez at the A3C Festival when he gave an impressive freestyle during Enter The Cypher.  What is more impressive is his work ethic-- this junior at The University of Houston still finds time to write music, record, travel, and promote just like any pro in the game.

In early 2012, Hi Stakez will be releasing his upcoming EP, Audiophile, which features the standout  track "Make It Right." Check out the Anita Baker sampled track, which HiStakez produced himself, below!
