Smif-N-Wessun and Boot Camp Clik’s General Steele has teamed up with and Vermont-based producer Es-K for “Persistence” featuring guest verses from VVS Verbal and Louie Skaggs. It’s the first single from their brand new collaborative album, Building Bridges, and today (November 17) gets the visual treatment courtesy of Sisco and Bucktown USA. 

Building Bridges features guest appearances from Buckshot of Black Moon, Smoothe Da Hustler, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Rockness Monsta of Heltah Skeltah, and a posthumous cameo from his late, great partner Sean Price. Staying true to its title, Building Bridges aims to bridge the gap between established artists and newbies like VVS Verbal, Shadow The Great of Loaf Muzik, Napoleon Da Legend, Mar’rz Atomz, Stage One, Louie Skaggs, Boone Bixby, Supreme The Eloheem (from the Representativz), and Coke.
