Back in 2000 in Park Slope, Brooklyn this little gem was created by Claw and Cise. Digging upon a Donald Byrd sample from "Steppin' Into Tomorrow" Claw and Cise made one song that will always take me back to those cold winters in New York.
However, when listening to the track I am not thinking of the grey, grimy streets filled with dirty snow treaded upon by people with scowls on their faces. Nah, I think of good times up in the warm comforts of 202 9th street hanging with the fellas; whether we were talking politics, playing X Box, drinking Carlos Rossi or smoking some blunts ("high like five blunts to the head, duke").
Cise brought a very distinctive and refreshing flow to what seemed to be an impossible beat to rhyme over. To put it in Cise's own words it took an Escargot flow.
Included are the first 3 test mixes, final mix and instrumental.
NOTABLE QUOTES:
"Street corners sick for the dro/ Green lights look at em go/ Fiend for the cash flow/ Same way that you blow"
"Dripping blood - fuck them thugs/ You going home with a slug/ Rolling trees - not of the drugs/ Believe you me it's a mystery/ You place the post with me like Camby/ And dish like Anthony"
