Back in something like 2006 DJ Cappel & Smitty had the genius idea to put the souls of Frank Sinatra and Biggie Smalls, both geniuses of their own genres, in a room together.

Is the kind of sound you want for those days that you can’t really make up or down of, the ones that you just gotta glide through and go with.
Track 2, a mash-up of “Everyday Struggle” and “A Day in the Life of a Fool”
is the truth.
