In “When You Rock & Roll,” emcees Cookbook, Uno Mas, and Evidence take turns giving heartfelt renditions of their own struggles with life as an artist; the ups-and-downs, successes and failures that come with being a musician staying true to their art. The song begins with a sample, “How much can you get for your soul?” While the subject is one that others have tackled before, the emcees avoid clichés by being honest. They don’t pretend to be above the influence of money, as Evidence raps “I know both sides of the fence” over the beats vocal chops, instrumental loops, and thick drums.
