Seeing out 2015 with a banger, this new “We Walkin’ Cypher” is big on reppin’ the international scene.

Boston duo N.B.S. are joined by Emcee Jackson Turner, originally from NYC and now a joint studio owner in China with Los Angeleno rapper Dan-E. No punches get pulled, all delivering hard rhymes over a bass heavy beat produced in Beijing by John Sun and No Play Entertainment.

N.B.S. have been getting major props this year for their collaboration with Germany’s Snowgoons on the album “Trapped in America”, while in the summer Jackson Turner toured the Far East in support of the release of his “The Foundation” EP.

The animated lyric video has just been released today
