SUMN is a product of a perfect storm. Often times collaborations start as “I have this record and I think you could add to it” or some iteration of that. Starting this song was a side by side plunge into our collective love for hip hop, and desire to incorporate it more intentionally into our music.
We were hot off the surrounding hype of the Work Remix together with Rich DietZ. Going into a session in Chicago, we wanted to match that energy with an original. Simultaneously we were both looking to inject more substance into our original records around that time.
Proppa had already been messing with the concept of making hip hop beats, rapping over them, and then remixing the result into a bass house song; and that’s exactly what he did with Smith & Sorren to create this tune. Starting from scratch, in his Chicago home studio.
While writing the song, it began to take the form of an anthem for our whole Hood Poli crew and all affiliated peoples. That comradery is the driving factor in what made this song so easy to write. We are quite literally always onto something.
