Here's another entry for the "Change the Beat" mixtape (coming later in 2022). I ran into the Strange Fruit Project while listening to Little Brother and everything related to the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. These were one of the many groups in the mid 2000s who released what I called "Real Hop". People released albums talking about their real experiences, trials & tribulations as opposed to glorifying fantasies.

The first beat is airy indeed, inspiring visions of traveling through the skies. This beat skips while the MCs deftly discuss elevation and dissect between their ways to live in a content way. They're still going up.

The second beat shifts into cruising altitude, bongos replaced with a steadier beat, although some elements carry over from the first beat. The last verse brings it home and can lighten a mood on a cloudy day. Great song.
