It was an honor to collaborate with C-SILENCE on this track who is literally my favorite Duluth Hip Hop/Rap artist of all time. He is incredibly talented and the real OG. I remember watching him at the Rex during and feeling so inspired and hoping to one day have just a tiny bit of his finesse.

Special thanks to Jaxon Gardner JayGee
