Today, Desmond follows up the previous episode breaking down his other single that dropped with "1 on 1:" "Kemba Walker." Rapping over "Heaven's EP" by J. Cole, Desmond takes listeners through the parallels of hitting a clutch shot at the buzzer and trying to stack up the wins of life. In this vulnerable song breakdown, he explores the pros & cons of isolation while motivating listeners to pull a Kemba Walker by overcoming their pit(t) to get to their platform.

In this special episode of Hip 2 Da Games, Desmond breaks down his first ever solo song "1 on 1," his spin on the Rapsody, Niko Brim, & Lil Wayne track "Raw."
