    • 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
