69. SMC Hoodrats - (untitled)

I like this one in particular, because the bits with the first two rappers are shot in (and they rap about) the district of North Helsinki I grew up in, and the fourth rapper's bit takes place right next to where I live now (in Northwest Helsinki).

And yeah, they jacked the "Shook Ones Pt. II" beat for that tune... Which is why it's never been released on record.
