Growing Pains

I found out about the project late. I quickly searched for a suitable beat on my computer. This beat was waiting there and has now found its purpose. My father was passing through the Philippines and met my 4-month-old daughter (she can also be heard on the track because I was just recording from home). Then I found Penko Baba from the Philippines and very quickly Yu answered me. Penko wrote a great rap and the hook and Yu quickly sent the trumpet via WhatsApp. It feels magical!
