The Bay Area may have owned 2016. Today (Nov. 7), HBK Gang reunite for "Ain't A Thang," which is the newest single off of Kool John's upcoming project Up All Night. Over a Lil Rece-produced beat, Kool, Iamsu!, Skipper and Dave Steezy take turns trading bars, complementing each other's deliveries perfectly.

"I do not believe in mid, it ain't a thang/I do not know you from a can of paint/Damn, I miss the old Su/It's not the same/I think they like it was better when I was lame," raps Iamsu! to begin the record.

HBK proves again and again why they are quietly one of the most talented crews in hip-hop right now. They released their crew tape in 2013 titled Gang ForeverKool John's Up All Night project will be dropping soon. Peep "Ain't A Thang" above.
