True Hold Records artist, Conscious Route teamed up with local Edinburgh youth organisation Citadel. Conscious Route worked alongside Danny Wiedenhof aka DRW, who is a senior member of Citadel youth service. Over the space of 5 sessions, the pair wrote lyrics and recorded for a rap song from start to finish. The process was documented by Edinburgh Undersounds' Jason Calder, who was also behind the shooting and production for the video for the track. Other people involved in the overall project include Drew Devine (Sons of Scotland), who worked on vocals production and mastering, and Sean El (United Front), who produced the beats.
Funding was granted by Creative Scotland, from Cash Back creativity scheme. The funding was originally part of a 3 month project run by Urban Lotus representative, Danny Ladwa. Danny Wiendenhof was a participant and a trainee sound engineer involved in the project, with funding granted for his trainee role to offer him more experience in a field of his choice related to music.
