For those of us that know Foul Mouth, he eats, drinks, and breathes making beats, and The Snake Pit is just another great project in his already long list of quality works. Recently producing the entire LARS (Last American Rock Stars) project from fellow Detroiters Bizarre and King Gordy, Foul Mouth has become a staple of Detroit with his hard-hitting, sample-based beats and The Snake Pit will not disappoint.
