First came "Or Nah", then "Black On Black," and now "Hit Em Hard." Like all the cuts we've heard so far off Year of the Wolf, The Game has locked down excellent features - this time from Bobby Shmurda, Freddie Gibbs and Skeme.

Shmurda handles the chrous, his gravelly voice a perfect foil for the hard, trance-y beat. The Game proves that his run of strong singles before this wasn't just a fluke; he's in fine form, rapping in his typically referential way about "shmurdering" his enemies.

But the strongest verse comes, undeniably, from Gibbs, who's been mostly silent since dropping his Pinata project with Madlib. His verse illustrates his tough-as-nails approach to street politics: "ES to the GN I'm the boss/Drop the package off," he raps. "Comin' for the murder, masks off/B***h you took a loss/F**k the DEA, we shook them off/B***h we shook them off."
