Where the tag comes from
Splice says the tag is sampled from a real train incident, and Revolt calls it a random subway clip that became a meme. The train theme fits the Kansas City producer's name. He is best known for boom-bap work with Westside Gunn and Griselda and for Drake's '8am in Charlotte'.
