Compton after dark hums with a deep, vibrating bassline, the air stained amber by the streetlights. I'm propped against the lowrider, my shades hiding my gaze, the Raiders cap tilted just so. Then I catch your movement—that stride cutting through the heavy rhythm of the night. A slow smirk curls my lips as the music swells. The tension in the air is thick enough to taste.
