Song posts must follow the 'Artist - Title (Description)' format with 80 character or less descriptions. Hashtagged keywords & emojis in titles are not allowed.

It seems this is just a remix or something else, not too sure though...

It seems to just be 'Work' and then Big L's verse was added at the end? Not too sure if it is a collab...
