Hip Hop: Monte SS - City Scene [@montessyes]

"Crisis is a combination of the state of my city and my own mindstate at the time these songs were written. There's a wide array of emotions that went into this project, due to hardships I was facing. The single city scene is more of a narration from 3rd person perspective of the nightlife in the city surrounding a central character, my big homie. Other songs such as Tread Water and Lie to me are more personal to my own situations. Overall I'd like a listener to take away from the album feelings of fun and excitement, anger and frustration, despair and love. Ultimately realizing that when you're living in a crisis you find fun, you find good within it and it becomes a part of normal life. The abnormality becomes a regular situation so for outsiders who look down upon the city with disdain....we look at them with hope, because we live the struggle so all we see is the possibilities" -Monte SS
