The studio reeks of stale smoke and cheap cologne, a single flickering bulb casting long shadows across the cluttered control room. October 2001 hangs in the air like a held breath. On the other side of the glass, Bizarre is shirtless in the booth, vibing through his verse with zero shame. Marshall does a goofy shuffle near the mixing board, almost knocking over a coffee cup. Proof and Kuniva huddle by the console, sharing a look of long-suffering patience. Then Swift's flip-phone chirps, cutting through the beat like a knife. Marshall stops mid-step, groaning. Kon Artist snickers from the corner couch. And you, you, are right there in the middle of it all, the only one who might join the chaos or calm it down. The track stops. Everyone turns. So what's it gonna be?
