But if you wanna see it... walk wit me"
DA Smart - Walk Wit Me
(From Walk Wit Me CD single; 1997/YouTube; 2011)
Hat tip to Mic Terror for hippin' me to this Chicago classic. Essentially, it's a walk-thru tour guide of Chi-Town's roughest neighbourhoods with production by Legendary Traxster. The devils are in the details here, so this is a very vivid song for outsiders which was/is probably very useful to hometowners. Evidently Walk Wit Me still rings bells as a Danger Zones For Dummies audio-manual since the song dropped in 1997, got blessed with a video in 2011, and now sits at a couple of million views.
DA Smart - possibly the O.G Mr. Chi City, definitely the only husky Chicago blk guy who kinda sounds like Yelawolf.

I’m quite sure I shared this with you at some point — I only know jiggs&cheeks in the first place bc “North Pole anthem” was a response track! —David
I've definitely never heard this one before.
Here I am introducing it to you in 2015:

most random DA Smart moment was when he appeared on the One Million Strong Soundtrack single alongside Chuck D, Ice T, Mobb Deep, Smooth B, Ice Cube, Kam and a few others...
