"Baby girl came up on this one". I was sent songs when in when I was Texas drinking and being with nature. There was no river or deer so I left Texas. I knew I wanted LA CITY NIGHT for this. So when I got back to LA I scouted a bunch places and wrote from what I saw/felt. Night time is my favorite place for Skid Row, MacArthur Park, and my neighborhood.

HIGH LIGHTS : lil pre riot on skid row (raw), pregnant home girl buying weed in my shot, lil secret graffiti, Freddy randomly driving up to us shooting/I put his ass to work on cop look out/cops came, KNIFE JERK OFF SCENE! The look on people's faces while shooting.
