Big City, Cold Nights f. Guante

about

Guante (guanteandbigcats.bandcamp.com) is one of my absolute favorite artists, so it was really cool of him to do a track with me. Unfortunately, we recorded these verses at separate studios and when I put the track together later, Guante's verse ended up coming in slightly early, and the mistake wasn't noticed until it was too late. It was entirely my fault, and I still feel bad about it to this day. It's a testament to the quality of Guante's writing and delivery that the track still sounds so good no one notices.

NOTES FOR PARENTS: I curse a couple of times on my verse (just "shit"), but Guante keeps his all clean. Class act, that guy. Overall, I think this song is pretty ok for grade school kids and up.
