Humid weather is stifling, and being that the artist spent time living in Florida, he compares certain pressures and situations of everyday life the feeling of the hot, uncomfortable climate of that period of his life.
Howie speaks on life in the form of the modern day blues; topics range from being underestimated, unappreciated all the way to contemplating one's love for a woman they know is no good. Howie takes his southern fried flavor and meshes them together with a dash of midwestern seasoning.
The 7 song EP contains production by Aurora based producers Maestro Music, & Royal Rudy. Law Beatz also makes quite a contribution to the tape. One standout being the track named "Pimp By Blood", where Howie joins west side native Fatboi Fre$h over a bluesy, college drop out era style sample. A Crooks Monroe credit also appears on the project, over which Howie gives us some atmospheric crooning.
Can you take the heat? How well do you handle pressure? It ain't about where you from its where you're going! Enjoy!
