This is one of two tracks SOULAJU released with DJ Ceiba for “My America”, a benefit compilation for Papers the movie, released July 4th, 2009.  The other SOULAJU/CEIBA collaboration is “Believe It”. 

Sending love out to Brotha Sean aka DJ Ceiba, who recently became a father.  Ceiba is a Harlem-based drummer, DJ, and producer.  He puts together jarring, head-nodding beats, fusing Reggae, Latin, and Hip-Hop influences.  Ceiba flirts with some samples but relies mostly on his own musicianship.

"Wyoming… really?"
"Fascinating…"
