Havoc / "Cool, Calm & Collected"

About this song…

Havoc has blessed the OurSong community with an exclusive verse and hook, bringing you the classic M-O-B-B bars and hook combo we all love.
 
Over a monstrous beat by Alioop, Jeek, and CNFMUS, backed by an epic choir, orchestral hits, and vintage synths.
 
The song is now available on OurSong in the Open License+ format, which means everyone with the license is granted to remix the music and use it for commercial purposes.
