PREMIERE: Nocando and Fat Tony Reason with Trigger Happy Police with "Lemme Live"

One day we won't have to make songs like these...

Nocando is from Los Angeles. Fat Tony is from Houston. But their problems don't seem that different at all on the new collaborative cut "Lemme Live." Over a plush chop of Queen's "Let Me Live" provided by producer Chest Rockwell, the duo commiserates about the troubles that come with being black and male in a city where those two qualities arouse suspicion from local law enforcement. The track is short and beguilingly sweet, its message not political but practical. One day we won't have to make songs like these… Stream "Lemme Live" below.
