“One Breath Left” is an exclusive leak from the ongoing collaboration between the emcee/producer combo of B. Dolan and Alias. For the past year, this duo has been in the lab constructing a boom-bap, neo-horrorcore epic they call “Fallen House, Sunken City.” The full length LP is currently scheduled to be released in Winter 2009. Â In the meantime, we decided to tease the curtain back and give you a taste of what’s to come with this exclusive track and remix contest.

Since Marshall Law jumped on the scene on Sunday March 30th, He has destroyed all Competition. He has beaten RI superstars 8th Wundah, Knux, and Najas, as well as the up and coming star, Raise at the Battle Royal at The Living Room. Then he stomped (literally) into The Audio Liquor’s Brawl and defeated Raise for the second time. Just recently he smashed Sneaky Pete at the BF 10 Year Anniversary Show. So the question needs to be asked … WHO’s NEXT?
