SHINDIG - ITAL SANTOS FT. CEE NARIO, FREDO

I didn't expect something this subtle and low on chords but Ital, Big Mason and Cee Nario build from the song's minimalist beginning to a lovely piece of mood music worthy of their collaborating. Fredo comes thru with a stinging verse about a troublesome significant other and having heard some previous work from him I continue to dig how refined his double-time is becoming.

Ital's raps are among the best I've heard from him, walking a more subtle line of expressing frustration and loyalty to a love interest. Cee Nario and the electric piano take this to a transcendent space by the end - dig it.
