Granger Smith has shared a soulful hip-hop remix of latest single, “That’s Why I Love Dirt Roads,” teaming up with contemporary Christian rapper Lathan Warlick.
After learning of the talented remix specialist from his wife, Amber, Smith reached out to Warlick and was stunned with the early results, then decided to make their collaboration official. The new track takes the original and makes it a thoughtful, low-and-slow jam, full of razor sharp soul searching. Smith’s original was already about embracing the deeper value of a dirt road — they’re more than just muddy examples of your country cred, he sang — but Warlick gives the track even more spiritual weight.
“You never know what to expect or what’s coming next when riding them dirt roads / The gravel and dust might throw you off, if I’m ready or not only God knows/ It’s hard trynna hold it together when I lost a couple of people along the ride / Wish I could roll back the hands on a clock just to tell ’em, ‘I love you’ just one more time,” he raps over the remaster standout.
Along with the remix, Smith has also begun a new livestream performance series while COVID-19 keeps concert tours shut down. His twice-weekly Live at the Yee Yee Farm: Shop Set will air on Youtube and Facebook each Monday and Thursday at 6:30 CT.
