Detroit rapper, Rideout, brings us another joint from his catalog that’s up for Best Independent Song of 2008 via Hoodhype.com. Here is what he has to say about this joint:
This song samples the classic Gil Scott Heron song “We Almost Lost Detroit”. I’ve always wanted to sample this song and luckily for me Terry found a highly effective way to make the song our own. Living in Detroit I was in love with the beautiful ugliness of the city. There’s so much soul and history in Detroit, yet to many its somewhat of a forgotten city. I wanted to write a song that that spoke of my experience in the city. No city is perfect…Detroit is far from perfect…but we ain’t goin’ nowhere.
