Tampa's Acafool — the man behind the "Hata Blockas" hit single and sunglasses — and protégé Mr. Smith, also of the 813, are moving a product called "Fresh White T," a black T-shirt with a white letter T on the front. The actual song features a slow, heavy beat that should have no problem keeping strippers swinging on the pole and kids grinding in the club. Mr. Smith's flow is melodic, although his rhymes aren't quite as spicy as Acafool's. The Fresh White T promo CD also includes several remixes and snippets, such as the mediocre slow jam "Indiana Jones" and the promising party-starter "I'm on the Floor."
