Chicago

Produced by Speaker Bangerz & Heavy K

Written and performed by Prophet Hale

From the Chicago studio - Prophet admits he is "not a thoughtful rapper" but wanted to show that he has material where he talks about his life. This is the example he had to show, so we worked on it to create a radio edit of the track.

Created for the Black Gold Road EP, a compilation of songs produced by Notes For Notes studios along the Mississippi River, which include many of the cities which black pioneers in music traveled to live, work, and play.

For youth in the city, Chicago summers are both exciting and dangerous, with regular upticks in incidents of youth-centered violence and neighborhood shootings. This song, a remix of the track we submitted to Bonnaroo Music festival, captures those feelings in the tone of the music and story line weaved through the verses and chorus. This is a song of triumph over the odds and the radical act of celebrating young life in summertime Chicago.
