It was incredibly fucking cold and we spent the day in the studio making music, cracking jokes, eating pizza and drinking whiskey.

We talked about Open Mike's approach to music, his memories of coming up with the Nacrobats crew, "The Nutty Professor" movies, and at the time, his forthcoming TV show on Comedy Central. This was a really fun day, and excellent method to beat the cold. One thing that always stuck with me, was the way Mike talked about participating in a Closed Sessions and how it made him feel like he was a young and hungry emcee again, coming up in the Chicago scene. That's part of the goal.

We're excited to release this one on 7" / 45RPM vinyl. This record is limited to 400 copies, and is available/shipping now via Closed Sessions and Fat Beats.

The 7" contains the original and instrumental versions, plus new artwork by Spectacular Diagnostics.
