“When Darkness Falls” is hands down my favorite song off Arms and Hammers. It’s everything that is SAS.

“Arms & Hammers: The Foundation is a short 15-minute film about everyday life in the City of Los Angeles. It follows three young men who approach survival differently but all-in-all have the same purpose throughout.

I guess you can call it the ghetto’s duality. The film was written and directed by me & my bro Picaso (LAC). We came with the vision beginning to end. It was filmed and edited by LA’s own Calmatic.”

For those of you that don’t know, every great song didn’t necessarily come together by intentional design. Producers do shop their beats around and in most cases, the highest bidder usual skates off with the track. While you were carefully enjoying the soulful smoothie known as “The Joy” by Kanye West and Jay-Z, the Strong Arm Steady trio already had their version locked and loaded. But don’t think they are bitter; they actually see it as good business for a living legend. Read the rest of this entry »
