Big Dese x Mike Martinez – “What am I Gonna Do” prod. by Mike Martinez”

Boston rap meister Big Dese links with Florida-based producer Mike Martinez once again to close out 2023 with a new single/video titled “What am I Gonna Do”. The track is the lead single from the duo and it’s a solid mix of rich soulful samples with punchy drums all underpinned by Big Dese’s off-center flow and vivid storytelling that takes listeners deep into the murky places in his mind after a dose of way too edibles for one man to handle.
