Chi City ft. The Kid Daytona - "Story To Tell"
From the South Side of Chicago to the Heart of the Bronx, "Story To Tell" is the tale of so many others who strive to make it out of the projects. The song details the struggle to make ends meet in a world so cruel and unbalanced "Chi City" delivers tales about growing up in the streets of Chicago, as he fought to someday change the outcome of living in a neighborhood where gang violence is a everyday occurrence. Chi City reaches out to emerging East Coast emcee The Kid Daytona to paint a vivid picture of growing up In the streets of New York. In the end they share the same heart ache and pain as they both travel the same road to success.
