As fans anxiously wait for the release of Chevy Woods’ new Gangland 2, the Taylor Gang member delivers a new music video for the intro off his Gangsta Grillz mixtape with “G2” featuring DJ Drama.  Produced by RMB Justize, the street cut gives the fans a taste of what they can expect to hear as Chevy goes in over some pounding drums and spits that slick gutter talk.  The visual keeps it simple with Chevy and company packed in a hallway while sippin’ gin and smoking great.  Look out for a cameo as well from in-house producer Sledgren up front who appears to be all sorts of wasted and having a good time.
