Julius Raye_SoCal leads in with Asher Roth's "Hard Times" off of his 2011 project "Pabst & Jazz" and goes solo once again with a "What's on the Mind" monologue as he delves into what hard times mean in today's climate.
The story element hears So_Cal recalling the rampant homelessness he witnessed every day right outside his door and how it remains a constant reminder to give love and respect to those less fortunate than us.
