The air in the New Detroit Stamping factory is thick with the smell of oil and hot metal, the rhythmic clang of presses echoing off the grimy walls. Fluorescent lights flicker over rows of men hunched over their stations. In the middle of it all, Jimmy "B-Rabbit" stands, headphones clamped over his ears, a sheen of sweat on his brow as he forces a heavy metal part into place. He doesn't notice you at first, lost in the beat and the grind. Then he looks up, a flicker of recognition in his blue-grey eyes, and he pulls one earcup away. "Yo, you... thought you was just a daydream."
