"Call Me Hood" is another example of a song I've spent a decent amount of time sitting on. In 2012 it was this close to making my Top 50 list, but it unfortunately slipped through the cracks. It happens now and then, you know, but now "Call Me Hood" is right where it belongs. Then there's Maino, a great Brooklyn MC who put out I Am Who I Am around this time last year. "Call Me Hood" is the heavy hitter of the release with the help of Roc City; it has the melancholy tinge I like to my rap, but has that hope I crave so much too. The point of this track is that yeah, you're in the hood, but that's a part of who you are, and it has a beauty to it you may not recognize. Remember, I Am Who I Am.
