Donnie Trumpet – In Your Light (feat. Sima Cunningham)

inyourlight

Fellow Chance The Rapper collaborator Donnie Trumpet has been branching out and working with more artists lately, taking a break from his own solo material, but the death of Prince has brought him out of hibernation. Connecting with singer Sima Cunningham, the Chicago artist dedicates one to the Purple One, after being affected by his passing. Here’s what he had to say about the song:

“One of my best friends and musical mentors, Maceo from the band The Omys gave me a mix cd when i was going through a tough time with a song called Donna by Prince. I listened to the song over and over in the car. I never imported the cd, could only hear it in the car, so when i tried listening to it on tour i couldn’t find it anywhere. As you know Prince’s music is pretty rare on the internet but this song was especially elusive because it was a part of a compilation album of his “unfinished” music. This was a really powerful inspiration for me after having worked so hard on Surf and still having so much material left over that didn’t quite fit but still described my vision and passion of the era of making music when putting Surf together. Songs are like poems, they’re never done. In honor of that song and all songs like it, and the earth claiming one of the greatest humans to ever grace its land, Prince…I dedicate this to everyone who will ever hear it.”
