Hoffa and Meth’s collaborative relationship stretches back years. In 2011, they connected on the track “Double Barrel” featuring production from J-Glaze. Since then, Hoffa has continued to uphold his reputation as one of the best battle rappers in the business while Meth (of course) has carried the Wu-Tang torch.
