Linfinity: getting out in style - the "MSG" MP3

Linfinity

Dylan Von Wagner, the big man behind Linfinity, a NYC project, mailed me yet another MP3. From his forthcoming album A Manual For Free Living Volume I: Sedition:

I'm prisoner of a dying clan
The only way out is a Mercedes Benz
Have to find the keys
To the AMG
If this world be kind it’ s gonna set me free

A camp that doesn't suck? Be good, you little brat, and you might end up here:
