Tenured Hip Hop artist Rashad Smith dug in the crate over the holiday weekend and revealed he’s sitting on a major gem.
In a post on Sunday (December 27), the former Bad Boy producer – who’s worked with the likes of Aaliyah, Biggie, JAY-Z, Nicki Minaj and more – shared a quick look at some of his old tapes and one of them included a never-before-heard collab with rivals Lil Kim and Foxy Brown.

They were supposed to record their ill-fated collaborative album Thelma & Louise in ’97 as well, but the beef ended all talks of working together again.

Fans are hopeful for a Verzuz between the two rap legends, though they’re not necessarily holding their breath. But hey – if Jeezy and Gucci could make it to the Verzuz stage, anything can happen!
