Georgia Anne Muldrow is a multi-faceted musician whose skills lie in her ability to channel spine-tingling soul through her vocals and hard-hitting-yet-groovy production.

After making his way through three randomly selected records, Exile flipped one of the records in three different ways, showing how versatile his beats can get. He even managed to sample Fashawn and include his vocals on one of the tracks.
