This track was recorded in 2008-2009 in between Fun DMC and Carried Away. Because of potential sample issues and the heaviness of the topic it was filed away, only to see light again for this compilation after being relegated to a lost hard drive. Nevertheless, even at time of writing, this was a melancholy song that attempted to touch both ideas of social/geographical displacement and the tldr/cool story bro culture we live in.

It’s worth noting that since this was written, downtown LA has kicked it’s redevelopment into high gear and it is with no irony that there is now, actually a Whole Foods in downtown LA as per Thes One’s first verse…

This is track 4 of American Men Vol. 2 to be released one track at a time on Soundcloud. STAY TUNED!
