The Genesis of Still PrayingZip
- “Altar of Flies” – A Conductor Williams loop that sounds like a Sunday service in an abandoned church. Gunn name-drops designer tags next to dead homies, blurring the sacred and the street.
- “Brick St. Blessings” – A posse cut featuring Rome Streetz and Stove God Cooks. Each verse is a different kind of prayer: Rome’s lyrical precision, Stove’s melodic crackpot genius, and Gunn’s curator-like presence.
- “Still Praying (Title Track)” – Minimalist keys, no hook, just Gunn reflecting on how prayer changed from “please let me live through this lick” to “please let my daughter never know this life.”
