“Respiration” is the second single from Black Star’s eponymously titled 1998 debut album. It features a guest verse from Common and guitar playing by DeChown Jenkins. The song is produced by Hi-Tek and samples “Theme from the Fox” by Don Randi.
Black Star, with a feature from Common, poetically describe the hard-knock life in New York, with the “Gangstas of Gotham”, and the oppressive “smog” of the city, which obscures the idea of purity.
The song that plays in my head every time I’m in NY
Awesome, hope that this song brightens your NY visits!
